Chapter VI — The Bhagavad-Gita
Chapter VI begins by reframing the meaning of renunciation and spiritual practice in a way that dissolves common misconceptions. Krishna explains to Arjuna that a true renouncer is not someone who abandons action, but one who renounces attachment to the results. Such a person continues to fulfill responsibilities, not for reward, but as an offering. This form of detached action purifies the heart and makes the practitioner ready for higher spiritual development. It’s a message that blends practicality…-

VERSE: GOLDEN WORDS
Golden Words speaks not just to poetry lovers but to anyone who has ever felt the weight of a promise or the sting of a misused phrase. Right at the heart of the poem lies the belief that language, when overused or applied thoughtlessly, loses the gravity it was meant to hold. Some words carry more than meaning—they carry legacy, memory, and a sense of duty. In the modern rush of conversation, words like “Love” and “Honour” are often thrown around like confetti, sparkling briefly but quickly…-

Notes
Notes opens a window into a rich tapestry of shared legacy between France and Scotland, woven through the story of Jeanne d’Arc. Her military campaign at Lagny, where she triumphed over the Burgundians under Franquet d’Arras, gains added depth when her Scottish connections are considered. One remarkable detail is the possibility that her iconic banner was created by a Scottish artist, perhaps a James Polwarth or someone from the Hume family. This visual symbol, which accompanied her into battle,…-

Chapter XVIII opens with a direct question from Arjuna, who seeks to understand the difference between renunciation and the abandonment of action. Krishna responds with calm authority, distinguishing between the two with clarity. Renunciation means giving up desires behind actions, not necessarily the actions themselves. In contrast, abandonment refers to giving up attachment to results. This is a vital distinction in the pursuit of spiritual progress. One is not asked to withdraw from life, but to engage…
