In this episode, The Bearded Mystic Podcast discusses the 3rd chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, specifically verses 6 - 9. Krishna’s attempt in this verse is getting us ready to understand the important of restrain even as a householder. If we are still remembering past pleasures, we automatically will go for future experiences. Krishna guides that to control the senses, one needs to not have any attachment and must learn to observe and discern with the knowledge of Brahman. That person is a great karma yogi. Be honest with your life and act accordingly. Do your duties, look after your family. Earn a livelihood with honesty and integrity. Nobody can live a life without action. Sri Krishna would like us to offer every action to the Supreme. To Brahman.
