Bhagavad Gita, Higher Self and the Integration of Doubt
The discourse of the Bhagavad Gita is analyzed as a lesson in performing duty without attachment to outcomes. Mathison draws parallels between Arjun's doubts on the battlefield and the biblical story of Doubting Thomas, suggesting that the "lower mind" is not to be discarded but integrated under the guidance of the "higher self." He uses the relationship between Daniel-san and Mr. Miyagi as a modern illustration of this spiritual training.
