Dear bhAgavatAs and especially Smt. Jayashree Saranathan,

Your observations about self-explanatory verses in the bhagavadgItA
is what I have been saying all along. What  can be simpler than that 
and what can be a better shAstram.
 It is appropriately said about bhagavadgItA: gItA su gItA kartavyA kim 
anyaiH shAstra vistaraiH.

It is like the Wal-Mart of the super stores: If you don't find it there
you don't need that! 

> Mrs. Saranathan also said: >>>When, I, the ordinary mortal can be so moved 
> by the pains in other's life,  won't HE, the kaarunya seelan in HIS SUPREME
> compassionate bhava pardon them, spare them of more of hell.
> HE WILL HE HAS TO...<<<

Indeed HE HAS done that. It is very clear (again self-evident) in the 
bhagavadgItA.

 While it is all nice and great to dwell on all the itara (out side 
bhagavadgItA- that is the parama shAstram) shAstrams and commentaries, we 
should never let the tail wag the dog. 

Most of us (especially adiyEn) are not ready  for mOxam. Thus, it  is only 
natural that we get preoccupied with the clutters of our  life, including 
various other commentaries and elaborations, as well as astrology, palmistry, 
yantrams, tantrams etc and etc. I have stated the problem for my-self  and  
identifying th eproblem has immensly helped me. I am sharing thi shere, 
hoping it may benefit oters too.
