Understanding the Three Divisions of the Bhagavad Gita

The Bhagavad Gita delineates its chapters into three sets of six each, reflecting different philosophical paths. The initial chapters focus on self-realization, investigating 'Who am I?' representing the individual's real nature. Following this, the subsequent six chapters delve into the concept of God or the supreme reality, emphasizing understanding the divine. The final six chapters shift towards exploring the unity between individual and God, termed as 'Tat Tvam Asi' or the great equation, aligning with Advaita Vedanta philosophy.
