Gita Group Discussions #12 - Lifestyles, Reality, Attachment, One-ness

Following up on the group discussions 'from seekers to seekers', in this GD, we focus on the broad following topics: 1. Two lifestyles - Karma yoga lifestyle, Sannyasa yoga lifestyle & Krishna's recommendation for us. 2. What is the true meaning of renunciation? 3. Does age have any bearing on one's ability to renounce? 4. Clues for why the theory of reincarnation is a valid theory 5. Anchoring ourselves in our perception that we live from birth to death - by forgetting that our mind survives death. 6. What is absolute reality, transactional reality & dream reality? 7. Practical applications of understanding of realities, renunciation, death 8. Is everyone on the path of self-realization? 9. What is detachment, attachment? Is detachment mean apathy, indifference? 10. How to understand the concept of 'sarvatmaka bhava'? How can I be happy when my colleague is promoted but not me? 11. Should we embrace tough situations in our life?  12. Concept of 'one-ness' and how we identify ourselves... 13. We also discuss & decide to take a diversion from the book and start learning Tattva Bodha for the next few weeks.
