Bhagavad Gita

The Bhagavad Gita's teachings are similar, but differ in some aspects when compared to Zarathustra or Confucius's teachings. Both teachings instruct someone to be generous, nice, kind, honest, selfless, etc. However the teachings are different in that Bhagavad Gita's ultimate goal is for someone to follow the duty required by their caste, whereas in Confucianism - loyalty to the father is required for an ideal life. In Zoroastrianism, the goal is to be judged "good" by Ahura Mazda. Overall, the three teachings are similar because they instruct humans to behave better morally, but differ because they each have seperate goals.
