The Splinter from Matrix

I love the Matrix trilogy - there is something mystical about the movies that even today when they show it on TV I MUST watch it! I must have seen the movies, God knows, how many times and each time it teaches me something more - something new, something different. It strengthens my belief in the Gita and tells me I'm on the right path! I need to ask these questions and protect what I believe in. Simply beautiful.

Given my long time affair with the movie, this morning when I came across an article comparing the Gita and the Matrix I had to share. Click the link below for some parallels between the two. By the way, the closing credits song in The Matrix is an ancient Rigveda prayer. 

Asato ma sat gamaya

Tamaso ma jyotir gamaya

Mrityo ma amrutam gamaya

Means:

Lead me from the unreal to the real  (sat=truth)

Lead me from darkness to light (jyoti=light)

Lead me from death to immortality (amrut=immortal)
