Life is Short. Go For the Lifeboat.
Life is very short, especially in the Kali yuga. Even though we are supposed to live to be 100, hardly anyone makes it that far these days. You never know when you are going to meet with calamitous death from disease, a stroke or a heart attack, an automobile accident, a terrorist attack, or from any other of a myriad of other possible means of untimely death. Therefore, since life is very short we should try to squeeze as much Krishna bhakti as possible into each and every 24 hour period to maximize our chances of remembering Krishna at the time of death thus enabling ourselves to go back to home, back to Godhead never to take birth again in this miserable world.
Some foolish people criticize us for being pessimistic. If you are on a sinking ship, it is better to know that you are sinking so you can abandon the ship and get into a lifeboat? Or is it better to ignore the fact that you are sinking and go on naively trying to enjoy yourself on the ship? Is the person who chooses the lifeboat a pessimist, or is he an optimist?

The Bhagavad-gita As It Is
The Bhagavad-gita is universally renowned as the jewel of India's spiritual wisdom. Spoken by Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead to His intimate disciple Arjuna, the Gita's seven hundred concise verses provide a definitive guide to the science of self realization. No other philosophical or religious work reveals, in such a lucid and profound way, the nature of consciousness, the self, the universe and the Supreme.
His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is uniquely qualified to present this English translation and commentary on Bhagavad-gita. He is the world's foremost Vedic scholar and teacher, and he is also the current representative of an unbroken chain of fully self-realized spiritual masters begining with Lord Krishna Himself. Thus, unlike other editions of the Gita, this one is presented as it is--without the slightest taint of adulteration or personal motivation. This edition is certain to stimulate and enlighten with its ancient yet thoroughly timely message.
