In this episode, The Bearded Mystic Podcast discusses the 3rd chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, specifically verses 17 - 21. Shri Krishna guides us that the Sage that has fully realized themselves, that are firmly established in Brahman are always in divine joy, pleasure. They are completely enlightened within and are totally established in contentment. They are no longer compelled to complete material actions but their every action is done as an act to bring others to the Divine. Happiness is only found from within when we are established in Brahman. No action can lead us to this, no achievement can lead to this. Shri Krishna tells us to do what seems impossible and that is to perform actions without attachment to the outcome. The more we practice this and perform every action as a sacred offering to Brahman, we realize that the most supreme and ultimate abode is within us and around us, this Non-dual Brahman. All of us that live in the world have the capacity to attain the realization established in karma yoga, we can be enlightened and live our normal lives established in Brahman and perform actions for the well-being of all. We are inspired by the great karma yogis and we follow their example. At first, we may imitate them but eventually we realize that those very virtues are inherent already within us.    Translation used: The Bhagavad Gita Comes Alive: A Radical Translation by Jeffrey Armstrong Available here on AmazonIf you would like to dwell deeper in the Bhagavad Gita, I recommend Swami Gambhirananda's translation with Adi Shankara ji's commentary: Available here on AmazonI hope you enjoyed listening to the 24th episode of the Thoughts on The Bhagavad Gita and if you are interested in listening to more episodes like this on further chapters and verses, or on Non-Duality, or you want to learn more about the wisdom of the Mystics please follow/subscribe to this Podcast.Please rate and write a review for this Podcast, it will be greatly appreciated.New episodes will be available every Sunday.If you would like to attend a free weekly meditation with me, join my Whatsapp group:https://chat.whatsapp.com/DcdnuDMeRnW53E0seVp28bSubscribe to the free monthly The Bearded Mystic Newsletter: http://thebeardedmysticpodcast.substack.comYou can find links to Live Streams, Podcast, Videos etc: https://linktr.ee/thebeardedmysticpodcastYou can follow me and contact me on social media:TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMdk3HPJh/Discord: https://discord.com/invite/ZphafV5VddInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebeardedmysticpodcast/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheBeardedMysticPodcast/Twitter: https://twitter.com/bearded_mysticFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/The-Bearded-Mystic-PodcastSupport the show
