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.

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.
