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.
