So, Bhagavad Gita class, we were studying the third chapter.

They had done the second chapter and then we were studying the third chapter where we stopped last year.

It's been more or less one year since we have had the Gita classes.

And I continued my Gita studies actually at Harvard the Divinity School there

was one course on the Bhagavad Gita which I took so we studied the Bhagavad Gita with

the commentary of Madhusudan Saraswati which is a very comprehensive commentary very

nice very beautiful commentary so that that will also explain if

Mother Susan keeps coming in once in a while or quite often in my explanations

okay let me just get this out of the way at the end of the second chapter, what we had seen was, Sri Krishna, in response to Arjuna's

question about what his duty is in this battlefield, Sri Krishna taught him Vedantah, Atma

Gyanar, the knowledge of the self, that you are not the body, not the mind.

You are the Atman which is immortal, which cannot be destroyed by any weapon, which is unchanging,

which is of the nature of existence, consciousness, bliss.

And all of this, whatever you experience is an appearance in this Atman.

And this is to be realized.

Once you realize this, one goes beyond sorrow, one attains peace and fulfillment.

And that's the ultimate goal of human life, leading to moksha spiritual liberation and then Krishna went on to

tell Arjuna that you must engage in action that means you you must fight this

battle one second you must fight this battle.

Why?

One second, I just adjust this a little bit, my screen to my comfort.

Yes.
