Satya-mithya analysis reveals reality's structure: everything, from big objects to tiny particles, is mithya (dependent reality), made of forms within forms.

Chapter 2, Verse 28: All beings cycle between manifest and unmanifest states, making grief unnecessary as nothing truly dies.

Session focuses on the nature of human problems and the concept of Atma (the self).

Chapter 1, Verse 2: Sanjaya narrates that Duryodhana approaches his teacher Drona, despite Bhisma being the army head, because Bhisma's unwavering vow to support the king's side is unshakeable.

Chapter 2, Verse 12: We explore the paradigm shift needed from seeing oneself as a limited individual to understanding one's true nature as sat-cit (Existence-Consciousness).

This understanding brings samatvam (evenness…

Chapter 2, Verse 22: Atma is existence of awareness nature, without a second. Jiva means, I take self to be as good as the sthula-sharira, suksma-sharira, and karana-sharira. Karma accumulates as seen and unseen results, influencing future births. Samskaras develop through physical, spoken, and mental actions – shaping personality through time. Ver…

Roles and identity: We assume different roles (father, worker, teacher etc.) but can lose ourselves in those roles. Wisdom is recognizing there is an “I” separate from these roles.

Chapter 2, Verse 47: Humans have free will (purushartha) in actions but not in results. Results are governed by Ishvara's impartial laws, not personal wishes.

Introduction: The body and mind are introduced as instruments with three powers: desire (icccha shakti), action (kriya shakti), and knowledge (jnana shakti).

Chapter 2, Verse 38: The verse outlines three universal criteria for decision-making: sukha-duhkha (pursuit of happiness/avoiding pain), labha-alabha (seeking highest gain), and jaya-ajaya (desire for victory). However, these alone are insufficient and must be guided by samanya-dharma (consideration of others' wellbeing). This prevents two extremes…

Chapter 12, Verse 9: Emotional and intellectual development is a lifelong practice (abhyāsa) requiring constant vigilance against arrogance and dismissiveness. Practice works by training the prefrontal cortex to intercept impulsive emotional responses from the amygdala, creating new neural pathways. Bhakti means repeatedly bringing the mind back to…

Chapter 12, Verse 11: Karma-phala-tyaga (renunciation of results) and prasada-buddhi (seeing results as Ishvara's gift) means recognizing results are impersonal and governed by cosmic laws.

Chapter 12, Verse 18: An evolved bhakta maintains equanimity (samaḥ) towards enemies and friends, honor and dishonor, physical discomforts (cold/heat) and mental states (pleasure/pain).

Chapter 12, Verses 3-4: Ishvara is the all-pervading intelligence (sarvajna-sarvashakti) that manifests as universal laws and forms. This intelligence organizes itself at every level – from atomic to cosmic. It's not merely “all-loving” or “all-beneficent” as these attributes would reduce its true nature. The intelligence manifests in three types o…

Chapter 12, Verse 5: Direct pursuit of formless Brahman is challenging for those identified with body-mind. Attempting to jump from personal subjectivity to absolute reality without proper preparation leads to superficial understanding. Claims like “I am awareness” or “it's about being, not doing” often come from ego-identification rather than true…

Introduction: The Bhagavad Gita, while not part of the Vedas, presents Upanishadic knowledge through Krishna's teachings to Arjuna, addressing both practical challenges of living and the path to permanent fulfillment.
