I must say the beginning of this new book got me thinking. It was indeed interesting to read about such an unknown and unexplored subject to me, and besides I found it extremely enriching.
However, I must say I had to read over and over again in order to catch the whole point of it. At first I was able to understand the general idea in the story; the whole war thing and Arjuna's struggle whether to kill his kinsmen. But as the first teaching concluded I must say I was completely lost.
As I began to understand and make connections with the teaching's title and its content, I began to understand the whole dilemma. I must agree with Krishna's points, most of the time, and the entire situation had a lot to teach. For example, the conflict between killing or not, deciding whether there is something to gain from it all gives us an important life lesson on selfishness and egocentrism, to name a few.
I was also able to make connections to my personal and spiritual life, and I'm sure as I move on on my reading, I'll keep these teachings in mind and apply them somehow...
