His mind races after a puzzling encounter with Orkideh, who inexplicably referenced his mother’s death in a plane crash—a detail he never shared with her.

Chapter IX: Old Dog; New Tricks
Chapter IX: Old Dog; New Tricks opens with a challenge to a familiar saying—one that suggests age and learning are at odds. Lad, a dignified collie well past the height of his youth, quietly disproves that notion through his actions rather than any display of force or novelty. At twelve, his muzzle is silvered and his steps are slower, but his mind remains sharp. One afternoon, he surprises his family by trotting home with a lace parasol clutched delicately in his jaws. He found it abandoned, yet…-

Arjuna is told that this wisdom holds the power to release the soul from sorrow and delusion, not through blind belief but through direct insight.

Chapter IV — The Bhagavad-Gita
Chapter IV begins with Krishna sharing a truth hidden by time—one that was once passed from the Divine to enlightened sages but has since faded from the awareness of the world. He tells Arjuna that the same sacred knowledge of selfless action and Yoga was taught long ago to Vivaswata and handed down through generations, but over time, it was lost. In revealing it again, Krishna makes it personal. He reminds Arjuna that although he appears in human form, his divine nature is timeless and eternal. When the…-

Chapter III — The Bhagavad-Gita
Chapter III begins as Arjuna, still troubled by moral doubt, asks Krishna whether action or renunciation is the better path for spiritual growth. He seeks clarity on whether wisdom through meditation is superior to actively fulfilling one’s responsibilities in the world. In response, Krishna explains that both knowledge and disciplined action lead to liberation, but action is more suitable for most people. Renouncing all activity may seem noble, yet it often leads to hypocrisy if inner desires remain…-
