Bible?

The main message I can see from The Bhagavad-Gita is that the authors seem to be huge fans of peace and the status quo. They believe that there is an eternal soul that leaves one's body when they die. The first two lessons seem to deal entirely with Arjuna's inability to know what to do in the battle, as if he has just had some revelation about the soul that leads him to question all his motives and turns him into a blubbering mess. The story establishes many key Hindu traditions from the beginning, such as the love of peace and the different obligations one has in life, so I am lead to suggest that the entirety of the author's values rely on the metaphysical being applied to the physical world. That is to say that they are basing their conscious decisions in the real world on a gamble that man actually has a soul and what we do in this life matters in determining that souls fate. It is almost reminiscent of the Bible, not in true physical characteristics or the nature of the story but rather the idea that man should be subservient to his brother and lay down when it comes to fighting. Both books look toward a higher good and power for direction, instead of looking to themselves which is an interesting connection, as to the best of my knowledge the ancient Indians had no contact with the Israelites. Either way both stories make it sound as if this world is just some sort of test and playground; that man should act ut of selflessness in order to benefit his soul and "true self".
