Bhagavad Gita as Vedanta Philosophy Text: Inspired Haiku ~Lalit Kishore The Bhagavad Gita is deemed as the foundational text of the school of Vedanta philosophy that propounds the ways to realise the Existential Truth and transcendental purpose of life as union of Embodied Soul with the Supreme Soul. INSPIRED HAIKU Existential Truth - The Eternal Absolute Is beyond our mind *** The physical world The material-sensual world Is mortal, unreal *** Outer, appears real 'Coz of ignorance of Truth - That we all are Souls *** The Gita rejects Material-sensual world being False, deluding, dark *** The Gita evokes - Truth is transcendental - Soulful, spiritual *** Body, mind, senses - They are transient, perishable Truth's timeless-n-unborn *** Dharma's soulfulness - Realization through Yogas - Jnana, Bhakti, Karma
