1) I am like Argunta because there are things I do not want to do, but I find the strength to do it. For instance, I don’t like to do my homework and study for tests. However, I want to achieve good grades, so I persevere.
2) The Bhagavad Gita is a message to accomplish your duty. By applying your duty you are satisfying others and taking care of what must be done.
3) Perspective of one’s duty is different now than during ancient India. Then, you were expected to do your duty. This was an act of duty that was almost like a ritual and service to everyone including the gods. In the American perspective, we do our duty according to our bosses, societal expectations, etc.
4) The Bhagavad Gita can be used as a tool of oppression because if you do not preform your duty correctly, you will continue to be reincarnated.
