I am currently reading the Bhagavad Gita (“Saadhak Sanjeevani” commentary) from Gita Press.
The author has done a very good job explaining the verses in a simple, clear, and elaborate way. Although the verses themselves are full of learning, some new insights appear when we look at them in relation to each other.
As I will be reading the Bhagavad Gita, I will keep on adding the lesser-known learnings here in this post.
I hope you find them insightful and worthy of your thought.
Let’s get started.
1. Our interactions with the sense objects are the reason for both bondage and liberation
Even thinking about sense objects for one’s pleasure can lead to downfall. (Refer Chapter 2: Verses 62-63)
But consuming sense objects without the intention of your pleasure is also not binding at all. (Refer Chapter 2: Verse 64-65)
2. Why Krishna gives answers on the platform of intelligence despite Arjuna’s questions about the body?
With over three years of dedicated experience in studying and researching Indian scriptures, the author is passionate about sharing the profound wisdom of texts like the Bhagavad Gita, Puranas, and Upanishads. Through in-depth exploration of authentic commentaries, such as those by Gita Press, combined with thoughtful online research, the insights provided are both accurate and engaging.
The content aims to simplify complex spiritual teachings, making them relatable and applicable to modern life. By bridging ancient wisdom with contemporary understanding, the author seeks to inspire readers on their journey toward spiritual growth and self-discovery.
