Here are some of the main teachings of Lord Krishna that is highlighted in the Gita.
· A soul is never born, so it never dies. So don't worry unnecessarily as you don't need to be afraid and nobody can destroy you.
· Whatever happened in the past was for the best, whatever is happening now is for the best and whatever will happen in the future is also going to be for the best. So don't feel sorry about the past and do not worry about the future. Just concentrate on the present.
· We don't own anything, so why are we fearful of losing? What did you give birth to, that you fear its destruction? We don't bring anything. Whatever one takes, one has to return to God. Everyone has come empty handed and everyone has to go back empty handed as well.
· Whatever belongs to you today, belonged to someone else yesterday and it will belong to some one else tomorrow. Don't be illusioned by maya. Maya is the root cause of all pain and misery.
· Change is the rule of nature. What one understands, as death is actually life itself. One moment you are a king and the next a pauper.
· Your body doesn't belong to you and vice versa. Body is composed of five elements- Fire, Water, Air, Earth and Sky; one day it will perish in these elements.
· Offer yourself to the Almighty Lord. This is the best support. One who knows this unconditional support gains freedom from fear, worry and despair.
