In this last chapter, we summarize the entire Gita. Our goal in life is to increase Sattvic Guna, refine Rajasic Guna, and eliminate Tamasic Guna. Learn what’s it’s to live a life of Arajarshi, which means sagely inwardly, kingly outwardly.

In this chapter, Krishna explains how our behavior or our conduct  is made of the three gunas – Sattvic, 
Rajasic, and Tamasic. And how these three Gunas force us to act in a certain way.

Learn what Om Sat Tat means. “Om tat sat” is a mantra which ensures that our approach to life is not tāmasic (for ill purpose) or rajasic (for temporary selfishness).

This chapter discusses the values humans tend to 
adopt and how our values define us.

Krishna categorizes humans based on the values: Deva Sampat and Asura Sampat. 

Deva Sampat is more spiritual in nature with values like fearlessness, truthfulness, calmness, patience, renunciation, non-violence, control of senses, modest, gentle,  absence of greed or desire.

Asura Sampat is more materialistic in nature . Anger, 
arrogance, delusion, desire, pleasure, worries, ego – all these emotions are traits of Asuras.

Since all human beings have all three Gunas –Sattva, Rajas and Tamas, there is an innate propensity to become fully Divine (influence of Sattva) or exaggerate the demonic propensity (influence of Rajas and Tamas). 

Krishna describes what happens when one functions under the influence of ego.  Rajas and Tamas qualities are given free play. Undisciplined and unawakened action of Rajas and Tamas leads the human being to become demonic, leading to self-destruction, damage to societal harmony, and undermines the inalienable sanctity of human beings, all life forms and the creation. And so they become Raskshas. 

This episode  summarizes the essence of not just the Gita but also Vedic scriptures. It covers four topics - what is the world, who am I, what is Brahmanda or the Universe, and what is the relationship between me, the world and the Universe. 

Learn about the concept of Purushottam, and how it tries to attract our mind and soul all the time. 

In this chapter, learn three Gunas of Prakriti or nature - Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas. 

• Sattva is the principle of joy, harmony or peace.
• Rajas is the principle of passion and activity.
• Tamas is the principle of passivity. 

Learn how these three Gunas are interconnected and how we can find balance. 

In the 13th Chapter, we cover how 24 material elements constitute the material nature and bodies. And how Atman is independent of material elements.   Learn the difference between Kurukshetra and Dharmashetra. 

Kurukshetra means conflict within ourselves. Dharmashetra means conflicts are always around us, but not within us. 

This chapter begins with a question as to which is the best, the worship of the AKSARA or the indefinable impersonal Brahman or that of the absolute person, which is Krishna. 

God can be experienced in two ways - NIRGUNA and SAGUNA.

NIRGUNA is the eternal all -pervading and omnipresent divine consciousness.

SAGUNA is the manifestation of God in some form.
NIRGUNA is worship of God without form. SAGUNA is worship of God with form.

In this chapter, we explain the meaning of Krishna’s Universal Form. 

Vishawaroopam is the cosmic consciousness and its manifestation as the entire universe. Gita has illustrated a symbolic and personified form of Brahmanda or the Universe. 

Krishna shows Ishvara’s pleasant form. But Arjuna’s amazement turns into fear as he witnesses the transformation of Ishvara’s cosmic form. The “Soumya roopa” or the pleasant form morphed into the “Ugra roopa”, the fear-inducing form.  Learn why Krishna shows both creative and destructive sides of the Universe.
