Thoughts on The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 3: Verse 30 - Verse 35)

In this episode, The Bearded Mystic Podcast discusses the 3rd chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, specifically verses 30 - 35. Sri Krishna guides Arjuna that dedicate and perform all actions as an offering to Brahman - that Pure Awareness. Have no selfishness at all and with the confusion gone, Arjuna should follow his individual nature and fight this war. If we stick to the message of Karma Yoga, we dedicate all actions to Brahman, then we will be able to have the strong conviction that will contain no resentment about the supreme influence of this practice - which is liberation. These individuals will face no negative karmic reactions. Sri Krishna warns us of the people that don't practice the Gyana that he has given of Karma Yoga and the results of this is pure confusion. Sri Krishna tells us about how knowledge cannot change the tendencies we have gained from previous lives, they are now our nature. Sri Krishna wants us to follow our own inherent nature and that it is better to die than become the copy of someone else.
