Arjuna's sorrow in the Bhagavad gita is symbolic of all humar suffering. It is out of sorrow and suffering that man becomes interested in philosophical matters and begin his spiritual journey. This may not happen universally, but in most cases it does.
Our experiences repeatedly prove that sorrow is the inseparable companion to man, his eye-opener, his true teacher of philosophical truths, without which perhaps he would remain spiritually ignorant.
Suffering puts our egos in their place and forces us to turn to God for help, just as Arjuna, the great warrior turned to Lord Krishna for help and guidance. In the following first four essays we will analyze and discuss the spiritual significance of Arjuna's suffering and its outcome in the light of the teachings of the Bhagavad gita. The remaining essays also deal with the problem of suffering from other perspectives.
