[ More... ] The Yoga Of Action Brothers, in the Second Chapter, we glanced over the whole of the philosophy of life. Now, in the Third Chapter, we shall explain this philosophy more clearly. [ More... ] Vikarma - The Key To Karma-Yoga In the last Chapter we discussed yoga of the desireless action. If we give up our svadharma (one's own dharma) and take over another's dharma, it is quite impossible to attain the goal of desirelessness. [ More... ] The Two Aspects Of Akarma - Yoga And Sannyasa The world's ways are terrible. Samsara, life in the world has been compared to an ocean. In the ocean, wherever you look, you see nothing but water; samsara too, is like that.

Karma, vikarma and akarma, together complete the sadhana, the path.

No doubt, those who want to profit from them may surely do so. [ More... ] Contemplation Of The Divine Glory Friends, we have completed the first half of the Gita. Before we proceed to the second, it is good to look back.

In the Fifteenth Chapter all the ideas of the Gita find their fulfillment. [ More... ] A Supplement - The Conflict Between Divine And Demonic Tendencies In the first five Chapters of the Gita, we saw the whole scheme of life and the means of achieving life's purposes.
