Gita and Tranformation

Jivatma(self), Paramatma(super-self), Prakrti(material nature), Kala(Time), Karma(Activity) are the 5 topics discussed in the Gita. All the 700 and odd slokas can be bucketised into the 5 categories.
The divine knowledge that was comunicated using conversation as a means lead Arjuna to transform his mental state from that of 'Not to fight' to
'Rigorously fight with enthusiasm' in the battle of Kurukshetra.
Gita is not static knowledge. It is active dynamic knowledge which has immense power of positive personal transformation.
The same knowledge which transformed Arjuna to take a complete U-turn in terms of his resolve of retiring to forest and not to fight, can transform each of us. Retiring to forest would have led to mediocrity.
Retiring to forest might have been a more comfortable situation for Arjuna. Quite often we are at similar crossroads as Arjuna, where we are tempted to take the less challenging and no pain path
of mediocrity. But an ardent student of the Gita will embrace challenges similar to the battle of Kurshetra and win like Arjuna to obtain ultimate bliss. One has to sacrifice the temptation of immediate comfort and wellbeing to escape from mediocrity and embrace pains and challenges to score ultimate wins.
We see that which transforms something raw to something postive and of value is a process. Only a systematic process can take sometthing raw as an input and transform into value.
Similarly there is a systematic process that needs to be adhered to if we want to experience the joy of Gita transforming us into something wonderful.
The process is given in the Gita itself. One need to deligently study the 4th and the 9th chapters to know the process.(There are specific slokas if somebody is more interested)
One need to submit with devotion as an input to the divine transfomational words of Sri Krishna which are non different from Supreme Lord Sri Krishna.
