In this episode, we dive into Chapter 3 of the Bhagavad Gita, exploring the integral role of action in our lives. Krishna's teachings to Arjuna provide valuable insights on how to approach action without attachment, focusing on selfless duty as the key to reaching inner peace. Through practical examples, we reflect on how action and knowledge work together, guiding us to live with purpose, balance, and clarity. This is an essential reflection for anyone seeking to align their daily actions with higher wisdom and spiritual growth.
