Episode notes
Gita: Upanishads' Cliff Notes
- The Bhagavad Gita summarizes complex Upanishad concepts, making them accessible.
- It explains the Self's nature, which is seen as one entity expressed through different bodies, like electricity powering various devices.
Body as Clothing
- The Self changes bodies as we grow, like changing clothes when they're no longer suitable.
- This transmigration occurs when a body cannot fulfill one's desires or goals.
Indestructible Self
- The Self, being subtler than physical elements, cannot be destroyed by them.
- Weapons cannot cut it, fire cannot burn it, water cannot wet it, and wind cannot dry it.
