E43. Bhagavad Gita | Chapter 2 Verse 38 and 39 'The Yoga of knowledge' | Gautamji

Gautamji explains the consequences of failing to act selflessly for a higher purpose and not learning to view the pairs of opposites with equanimity. When we act selfishly to satisfy our desires in the present, we sow the seeds of future desires and, consequently, future suffering. Gautamji explains that sin is a mental disturbance or reaction born from present actions rooted in selfishness. True fulfilment lies not in the outcome of our actions, but in the joy and alignment found in the action itself, especially when performed with selflessness and purpose.More about the podcast:The Bhagavad Gita is a spiritual and philosophical masterpiece that contains the universal wisdom of life applicable to all human beings.
