Action vs. Renunciation: Wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita #16

Arjuna asks again, “Should I act, or turn away and renounce action?” But how to act? What is to be renounced? And how are these two related? Either the yoga of action or renunciation can lead to the ultimate happiness, Krishna says. Of the two, which is superior? Ishan explains how we need to see beyond this apparent dichotomy of action or renunciation of action, and transcend the sole motivation of raga and dvesha. This is the action of the wise.

Ishan reads from Bhagavad Gita: The Beloved Lord’s Secret Love Song by Graham Schweig.
