😌 Being Present with Actions | Essential Verse 5

from Live Vedanta Hosted by Vivek Gupta

On this season of Live Vedanta, we're distilling the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita into its 70 essential verses. In Essential Verse 5 -- from Chapter 2, Verse 47 -- Shri Krishna shifts from teaching about our Real Nature and the nature of change to explaining the importance of fulfilling our responsibilities. When our intention is focused solely on right action—not results or inaction—we cultivate quietude, purity, and freedom from restlessness, laziness, and inertia. ➡️ To maximize your experience of this season, we encourage you to request your FREE copy of the Essential Love eBook. Incorporating accessible translations and practical application, the eBook accompanies each episode with additional ways to learn, synthesize, and reflect on key insights. 🎧 Listen to the last episode.
