E23. Bhagavad Gita | Chapter 2 Verse 8-11 'The Yoga of knowledge' | Gautamji

Gautamji talks on Chapter 2 - The Yoga of Knowledge

Arjuna finally surrenders to Lord Krishna, seeking guidance amid his inner turmoil. Krishna begins his discourse with a profound truth, that the wise grieve neither for the living nor the dead, emphasizing the fleeting nature of our fragile existence. Mental agitations cloud our judgment, trapping us in the endless cravings of the restless mind. Instead of escaping action, Krishna teaches that true peace lies in embracing it. Gautamji elaborates on how our temporary existence is meant to guide us toward the eternal, yet we often get lost in the non-essentials, accumulating what is impermanent.
