Different people and sections of society, suiting to their own relevance and convenience, have interpreted the teachings of The Gita in different ways. Unfortunately, the most quoted teaching of Lord Krishna regarding karma (duty) and its phal (result) has been grossly misunderstood, i.e.. "Do your duties without bothering about the result." Though the message is very clear, still people think - "If the desired result is not in my hands then why should I put any efforts at all?"

The result of such misunderstanding has been catastrophic for society. Indians have become a confused lot, unable to decide what to do and when to do, resulting in an inactive, insensitive and directionless society. The masses have become dormant and unmindful of the state of affairs, as if everybody is a philosopher of his mind. We started denouncing materialism, and even few bandits and scoundrels expelled from their own land could come to kill and take over the throne to rule the country and devastate its glorious culture and opulence.

The author has been deliberating upon this dilemma to find out the logic and science behind the message of Bhagwan Krishna in The Gita. Everyone will: agree that we have a right on action but how come we have no right on the result of the action? The answer to this mysterious co-relationship between efforts and success is given in Gitaji itself.
