Ome, Vasudeva Sutam-Devam, Kamshachanuram Ardanam,

Devaki, Paramanandam, Krishna, Vande Jagad Gurum.

In the Bhagavad Gurdhung,

In the Bhagavad Gita, we are studying the second chapter.

Broadly in the second chapter, you have three topics. The first topic is about enlightenment. Who am I? Knowing that I am the Atman.

So that's the first teaching. In fact, if there's one thing you want to take away from

the Bhagavad Gita, from Vedant, it would be that. What is my real nature?

The second teaching is what we are doing now about Karma Yoga. How do I transform my day-to-day life into spiritual practice?

And the last one, which we are approaching, not today, later on,

and the last part of the second chapter is, the result of all of this,

Arjuna will ask Krishna, so suppose I attain enlightenment, what will it be like?

How is this enlightened person different from the rest of us?

So that will be the question.

But right now we are in the second topic.

How do I spiritualize my life?

Karma Yoga.

And the central teaching of the karma yoga we have seen last time that do the work which

we were earlier doing the same work, what we were earlier doing to satisfy our desires

for selfish purposes, do it as a service, as a worship of God without expectation of results.

Some results will come, but that need not be the motivation for the work.

Do not work for the results but work without detachment as worship of God and do not give in to inaction as well.

Do not give in to laziness.
