Bhagavad Gita Class (114): Chapter 18 Verses 1-6 | Swami Tadatmananda

“The intellect, the determination, the unswerving steadiness, the control of the senses, the absence of desire, the absence of egoism, the perception of pain and evil in birth, death, old age, and sickness, the non-attachment, non-identification with son, wife, home, and the rest, and constant even-mindedness in the occurrence of the desirable and the undesirable, the unswerving devotion to Me by the Yoga of discrimination, all this is declared to be knowledge, and what is contrary to this is ignorance.” (Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 18, Verses 1-6)

Why is the Bhagavad Gita the most widely studied Hindu scripture? It presents the profound spiritual wisdom of ancient rishis in a context we can all relate to – the battlefield of day-to-day life.
