Practical guidance is offered on how to perform duties without attachment, cultivate clarity, and develop unwavering wisdom.

This episode also addresses Arjuna's poignant question about recognizing a Stithaprajnya, one who has transcended delusion and achieved a steady state of wisdom. Krishna explains that true spiritual attainment resides within and cannot be judged by external appearances. Drawing inspiration from examples like Ramana Maharshi, we highlight how inner transformation is the essence of spiritual growth.
