In these teachings, Kirshna reveals that he is a great deity that is ignored by many. He describes how he is not everything but everything is him and that he sustains the universe. "Know that nature's qualities come from me--lucidicy, passion, and dark inertia; I am not in them, they are in me."(74) He then continues to whine about how he is the god of everything yet nobody likes him and he is always ignored. This lasted for about three pages which made my blood boil. At times I felt like yelling at the screen, "Get to the point already!" The author somehow is able to rewrite the same point in like fifteen different ways just to fill pages. However, it did make me reflect how we have everything from God and constantly ask for something from him yet we never pray just to say thank you. It's like having a one way relationship with the person who created you. At times we end up acting like a little kid.
