Thoughts on The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 5: Verse 11 - Verse 14)

Send us a textIn this episode, The Bearded Mystic Podcast discusses the 5th chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, specifically verses  11 - 14.  Sri Krishna describes how this karma yogi sets the best example of how to be in the world and not of the world. They have completely identified as Formless Awareness, going beyond their past and future. Sri Krishna explains how the person established in this Formless Oneness, even though it appears that the senses are performing all actions sees inaction in action. Sri Krishna is reminding us that we are this Atman that is the witness consciousness within and that we can use the mind to control the mind and remind the mind itself to be free, unattached to the results of all actions. The atman is the non-doer; no god drives us to act nor controls the final outcome of any action. It is nature that takes care of all our actions and their outcomes. Translation used: The Bhagavad Gita Comes Alive: A Radical Translation by Jeffrey Armstrong Available here on AmazonI hope you enjoyed listening to the 40th episode of the Thoughts on The Bhagavad Gita and if you are interested in listening to more episodes like this on further chapters and verses, or on Non-Duality, or you want to learn more about the wisdom of the Mystics please follow/subscribe to this Podcast.Listen to this episode ad-free and support The Bearded Mystic Podcast and get extra content on Apple Subscriptions and Patreon.https://www.patreon.com/thebeardedmysticpodcastIf you would like a one on one meeting with me via Zoom, find the details here:https://calendly.com/thebeardedmysticpodcast/1on1meetingsPlease rate and write a review for this Podcast on https://www.thebeardedmysticpodcast.com/reviews/new/If you would like to attend a free weekly meditation with me, join my Whatsapp group:https://chat.whatsapp.com/DcdnuDMeRnW53E0seVp28bSubscribe to the free monthly The Bearded Mystic Newsletter: http://thebeardedmysticpodcast.substack.comYou can find links to Live Streams, Podcast, Videos etc: https://linktr.ee/thebeardedmysticpodcastYou can follow me and contact me on social media:Website: https://www.thebeardedmysticpodcast.com/TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMdk3HPJh/Discord: https://discord.gg/4DbureZw8yInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebeardedmysticpodcast/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheBeardedMysticPodcast/Twitter: https://twitter.com/bearded_mysticFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/The-Bearded-Mystic-PodcastSupport the show
