E44. Bhagavad Gita | Chapter 2 Verse 40 'The Yoga of knowledge' | Gautamji

In this episode, Gautamji explores Lord Krishna’s teaching on Buddhi Yoga—the path of uniting intellect and action to break free from the bondage of karma. Acting with self-knowledge and selflessness, even in small ways, offers protection from deep fear and mental turmoil. Gautamji also reflects on how Hindu festivals and rituals, like the nine days of Dussehra (Navaratri), serve as powerful reminders of our ultimate spiritual goal—Self-realization. He explains how selfish desires and sensory cravings trap us in mental agitation, and why rising above them through purposeful, detached living is essential on the Vedantic path.
