Karma Yoga & the Detached Yogi: Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2, Part 2


Listen Later

What does it mean to act without attachment—and why is that the key to spiritual freedom?

Chapter 2 of the Bhagavad Gita is so rich, I had to split it into two parts—and this second half is where the real philosophical firepower kicks in 🔥

We're diving into:

🔹 The essence of Karma Yoga—selfless action without clinging to outcomes

🔹 How the Yogi transcends dualities like success/failure, praise/blame

🔹 The clash between societal values and spiritual truth

🔹 How this all ties into Advaita Vedanta and non-dual awareness

If you've ever struggled with "doing your Dharma" without burning out, this part of the Gita gives profound insight into how to act with devotion, not desperation.
