[Emphasize various aspects of the truth as the Hindu elders saw it. The Gita evolves an ethic in Adhyaya II-Slokas 47, 48. Adhyaya III - Slokas 3-9, 20, 21, 25-29, 33. Adhyaya IV - Slokas 16, 18, 19, 22, 31-33, 37, 38, 41, 42. Adhyaya V--Slokas 4, 7, 11. . Adhyaya VI - Slokas 1, 2. Adhyaya XVIII--Slokas 2, 7, 9, 11. 56,
57.]
We shall now revert to the ethical
teachings of the Bhagavad-Gita. Reverence for the past and the
spirit of conservatism that characterize Hindu thought should not be
mistaken for unprogressive rigidity. In spite of its undoubted
conservatism, in no other religion is there greater elasticity,
freedom of thought, or scientific respect for truth. Hinduism has
grown and evolved like every other living body of thought and faith,
It has always displayed the boldest varieties of conception.
