Personal opinions are not fact

Our own opinions are very dear to us. We cherish them because they are our thoughts and reflect our feelings and the way we interpret the world around us. Kanhaji understands this and He allows us our personal opinions. However, we may begin to think that these opinions should be shared by everyone and sometimes we get upset when people do not share our points of view. In this case we should remember that our personal opinions are definitely not factual. Facts are generally accepted points of view that have evidence to back up such factual statements. Our personal opinions are just that - they are the way we think about things and interpret them. Different people can look at the text of the Bhagavad Gita and interpret it differently - the truth is that the interpretation we feel in our hearts is the right one for us. We should remember that Kanhaji is in our hearts and He guides us, even in our opinions He exposes us only to certain types of information to ensure that we will function properly. Kanhaji loves us and He understands our opinions. We should understand and respect His role in our lives as well. Jai Shri Krishna!
