Chapter IV — The Bhagavad-Gita

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 VI — The Bhagavad-Gita
Chapter VI begins by reframing the meaning of renunciation and spiritual practice in a way that dissolves common misconceptions.

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…-
