Seeing despondent Arjun, Lord Krishna blessed him with the divine vision to enable him see the cosmic dimension (Vishva/Virat roopa) of the Lord. Lord Krishna said, “Arjun, attachment to anyone is an obstruction in the path of spiritual progress. My own detachment with my parents, foster parents, brother and soul mate is an example of the philosophy of life. So I am neither a friend nor an enemy of anyone.” Lord Krishna encouraged Arjun to choose a cause over concern for the members of his family. He described the three-fold path to moksha–jnana, karma and bhakti. Lord Krishna convinced Arjun about the importance of Karma and Dharma. His philosophical sermons to Arjun became the great text of Bhagavad Gita. The ultimate secret of the Bhagavad Gita is devotion and surrender. The holy text also speaks of essential food habits for a healthy body, devotion, surrender, doing duties, regardless of results. These were the keys to avoid grief and attachment.
