Gita reflection Ch 18 verses 49 & 50

19th December 2024


If one is always engaged in worldly duties, where does it all lead? When does a person attain true freedom? The simple truth is that detachment is the key to freedom. 

We observe that we are not disturbed by things we do not depend on, derive happiness from, or identify with.

Lord Krishna reveals an essential truth: "He whose intellect is unattached to everything, desireless, and who has conquered his internal passions attains the supreme state of perfection—freedom from duties through renunciation."

This state of perfection is known as Brahman, the Absolute Reality, and it represents the culmination of wisdom. Lord Krishna proceeds to explain the process of achieving this state.
