Chapter 17 verse 1
“Arjuna said: O Krishna, where do they stand who disregard the injunctions of the scriptures, but still worship with faith? Is their faith in the mode of goodness, passion, or ignorance?”
In
the last chapter, Bhagwan finished by saying it is important to follow the
scriptural guidelines in life. Arjuna now asks a natural question about people
who worship a higher authority with faith or dedication but don’t follow the
scriptural guidelines. Arjuna wonders how their faith and dedication is considered.
This is a pertinent question since several of us haven’t even read the
scriptures and don’t follow them in any case. We do try and live a life with
some amount of faith towards the divine. How is such a life viewed by Supreme
Being or nature?
