Have you ever wondered if the things you were taught by your family members are correct? Are you performing actions that are ordained by scriptural authority? Unfortunately there are many individuals who perform actions that are contrary to the teachings of the scriptures. As a result, there is a vital necessity for everyone to clarify all actions performed by turning to the holy pages of the divine scriptures.

As we analyze Chapter 2 of the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, we are taught why Drona and Bhishma (the Guru and Grandsire of the Pandavas and Kauravas) were on the opposing side of the battle in the Maha Bharata War against the Pandavas who had the Lord on their side. This understanding will enable us to take a second look at our performed actions to ensure its state of righteousness. Once we have acquired the understanding of proper actions, we can then begin to focus and understand the soul and its qualities.
