Welcome to Chapter 15! Krishna describes the material world as an impermanent upside-down tree, with roots in the spiritual realm and branches representing the material creation. To transcend this entangling tree, one must cultivate detachment and seek the supreme abode by understanding the eternal nature of the self. How fun! #bhagavadgita #gita

In this episode, Krishna explains that by transcending the three modes through devotion and spiritual wisdom, one can become free from birth, death, and suffering, attaining liberation. A person who sees the Divine as the ultimate source of creation, beyond the modes, achieves an eternal connection with the Supreme. That's the whole point, right?

Tell me more about the modes of material nature, you say? Actions in goodness bring purity and wisdom, those in passion lead to suffering and attachment, while actions in ignorance result in ignorance and delusion. By understanding the influence of these modes and transcending them through spiritual realization, one can achieve liberation and rise above the dualities of material existence. Yay! #bhagavadgita #gita

Krishna explains how the dominant mode manifests in a person's behavior and destiny. When goodness prevails, one experiences clarity, knowledge, and purity, leading to higher spiritual realms after death. When passion dominates, greed, and restless desires prevail, binding the soul to action and rebirth in worldly conditions, whereas ignorance, characterized by ignorance and inactivity, leads to degradation and lower states of existence. #bhagavadgita #gita

Did someone say modes of material nature? Krishna sure did! In this episode, He elaborates on the influences of these three modes. Rajas (passion) arises from desire and attachment, leading to action and restlessness, while tamas (ignorance) brings laziness, and delusion. These modes continuously dominate and replace one another within the mind and body, binding the soul to the cycle of birth and death. #bhagavadgita #gita

Welcome to Chapter 14! In this episode, Krishna describes the knowledge of the three gunas (modes of nature)—sattva (goodness), rajas (passion), and tamas (ignorance)—that bind the soul to material existence. By transcending these modes through spiritual wisdom and devotion, one can achieve liberation and attain the ultimate goal of union with the Divine. #bhagavadgita #gita

In this final episode of Chapter 13, Krishna explains that the soul is eternal, unaffected by the actions of the body or material nature, and remains the uninvolved observer. Realizing the unity of the soul within all beings and distinguishing it from the ever-changing body leads to liberation from the cycle of birth and death.

Hearing is one of the most important things you can do in Bhakti yoga. In this verse, Krishna describes how some people, though unfamiliar with spiritual knowledge, come to worship the Supreme simply by hearing about Him from others. Their sincere willingness to listen to authoritative teachings enables them to transcend the cycle of birth and death, reaching liberation.

In this episode, Krishna explains that the Supersoul within the body acts as the witness and guide, leading the soul toward liberation. Those who understand this truth through meditation, knowledge, or devotion can attain liberation.

Like to sleep all day? You may be a hibernating bear in your next life. Wild, right? Krishna explains that Prakriti (nature) is the cause of actions and experiences, while Purusha (the soul) enjoys or suffers based on attachment to these actions. #bhagavadgita #gita #krishna
