In this deeply reflective episode, we explore Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2, Verse 39 — where Krishna transitions from the path of Sankhya (knowing) to Karma Yoga (doing). When knowledge alone can’t move us, what awakens wisdom is courageous action.

Through relatable metaphors — like a startup founder stuck in analysis paralysis or a climber who knows the map but hasn’t taken the first step — we unpack how Karma Yoga becomes the bridge between confusion and clarity.

Join Jessica and Ankur as they delve into:

• ​ The difference between Sankhya and Karma Yoga
• ​ Why action doesn’t contradict wisdom, but completes it
• ​ Krishna’s powerful leadership lesson: “Don’t wait to be sure. Walk.”
• ​ Real-life examples for modern leaders and seekers

🌟 Key Insight: Take the step. The knowing will come after the movement.

🎧 Perfect for anyone feeling stuck in decision-making, overthinking, or spiritual inertia.
