So we were at the end of the third chapter where we'll just talk a little bit about that

and then take a synoptic view of the third chapter and we'll throw it open for discussion.

So if you have questions, comments, you can keep writing it in the chat or raise your hands we'll have time

for discussion today so in this at the end of the third chapter we see

Krishna is telling Arjuna how to overcome the problem of karma desire because

desire is the central problem in spiritual life Arjunajuna had asked Krishna, why is it that people, even when they want to be good, when we want to be good, we have made up our minds, but we still end up doing things which we regret later.

Unwillingly, he says, Anichannabivarshani, even though we are not willing, people are not willing to, or they do not want to do anything wrong,

they end up doing things which they, which people regret.

Why is that? What forces them to do this?

So, he answers that karma-eash-krodha-esha it is desire and anger

karma-kroda desire and anger which is manifested as Raga-dwesha

Raga means attraction or wanting this grasping at something I want this I want

that's Raga and D Duasha means repulsion.

I don't like this, I won't avoid this.

I detest this in my life.

One might ask what's wrong with that.

Nothing specifically wrong, but we think by pursuing that we will attain fulfillment.

We will not.

We have not been able to attain fulfillment in that way by pursuing our desires so Krishna says this is the

problem in life and especially in spiritual life whether we want to meditate

and our minds are disturbed why because they are polluted by calm and

cro the desire and anger.
