Gita reflection Ch 3 Introduction & verse 1

 15th March 2024

  • A spiritual seeker should be given the freedom to inquire about the teachings of the scriptures and the Guru. This freedom is evident in all Hindu scriptures, including the Bhagavad Gita.
  • Only deep reflection will become the springboard for relevant questions, whereas blind following will not. 
  • If the knowledge of the Self and abidance in It are the means for liberation, how does an action that naturally needs identification with non-Self become a path to liberation? 
  • When does action (karma) become a means to spiritual growth (karma yoga)? Can every action qualify for this? Can fighting with enemies be a spiritual engagement? If so, how? 
  • Actions produce results and also leave lasting impressions (vasana-s). How can release from these impressions happen by continuously engaging in actions?
