Lecture on Bhagavad-Gita, Chapter 2, Verses 62

Lecture given by Dulal Chandra dasa on February 17th, 2011 in Winston Salem, NC on the Bhagavad-gita As It Is.

Krishna concludes this introductory chapter, what Visvanatha Chakravarti Thrkura considers the sutra chapter, by explaining the importance of the path of bhakti in effectively controlling the mind and senses. Without taking advantage of the spiritual taste afforded by developing a loving relationship with the Supreme, control of the senses will not endure. The preliminary stages of spiritual practice (karma, jnana and yoga) must ultimately result in loving devotional service in order to fully satisfy the self.
