- One should not be overly engaged in welfare activities for one's family members, countrymen, society and community. None of these will help a person to advance spiritually

- The main point is Krsna wants Arjuna that he must fight. He must, he must not deviate from his duty as a ksatriya. He should not be overwhelmed by the bodily destruction
- The Mayavada commentary Sariraka-bhasya is like poison for a Vaisnava. It should not be touched at all

- The subject matter of BTG should be very grave. It should not be made a joking, comical literature. The subject matter is that everyone should know who is Krishna. So present it in philosophical way but with simple language
