So in the Bhagavad Ghiata we are studying the second chapter.

We are at a point of inflection, that means a point of change now.

The subject matter is going to be changed now.

Until this point, Sri Krishna had taught Gyanay Yoga, the central teaching of the Bhagavad Gita,

the doctrine of the Atman, that we are not the body, not the mind, we are immortal spirit, pure consciousness.

So that's what he had taught. And also, and now he's going to talk about karma yoga, how to transform our actions into spiritual practice.

In between, there was this short, interesting section from verse number 31 to 38 yes where Sri

Krishna used a battery of ethical arguments practical arguments to convince

Arjuna to do his duty and so that section has come to an end with the

38 verse which we read last time.

Did we not read it last time, 38?

Suke, dukkha, laabho, jaya, Jayo, Tato yudhaya, yudjasva, naivapapa mawapsi.

Regarding pleasure and pain, suhka, pleasure and pain alike, gain and loss,

laabha, la'aabha alike victory and defeat jaya a

jaya alike prepare yourself for doing your duty in this way you will not incur sin

just a note that these terms are causally connected.

It comes out of whether he has gained or lost.

If we gain then we, if we are the winners, if we gain, then we feel happy.
