  • The real and practical wisdom

    Growing up in India, the Bhagavad Gita was a familiar name. However, I used to consider it merely a religious book. That ignorance prevailed until I started listening to Gautamji's discourses. Not only does it follow a structured approach, but it also offers practical ways to overcome the challenges of life. Without his teachings, I would have never believed that we can be both peaceful and productive at the same time

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

E66. Bhagavad Gita | Chapter 2 Verse 64 ‘Yoga of Knowledge’ | Gautamji
Q: What step of this ladder is Arjuna on?
He is very close to total loss of intellect, but his state is temporary because he becomes overwhelmed by emotions yet has access to knowledge.
E66. Bhagavad Gita | Chapter 2 Verse 64 ‘Yoga of Knowledge’ | Gautamji
Q: Will that temporary withdrawal only work for a certain period?
While desire will return eventually, being in a non-conducive environment provides a chance to strengthen the intellect before it returns in full force.
E66. Bhagavad Gita | Chapter 2 Verse 64 ‘Yoga of Knowledge’ | Gautamji
Q: Isn't the intellect the faculty that directs us to do that or to withdraw?
The intellect should guide the actions, but if not used, thoughts can manifest into attachment and delusion.
E65. Vedanta & Bhagavad Gita | Q&A | Gautamji
Q: Could you re-clarify the definition of Ahimsa?
Ahimsa is not just non-violence; it means having an attitude of not wanting to hurt, even in necessary situations.
E65. Vedanta & Bhagavad Gita | Q&A | Gautamji
Q: How do we carefully preserve the current intellect that we have and grow it more?
You can preserve your intellect by avoiding environments that can lead to a loss of self and by being less selfish, focusing on how you can help others.
