Chapter 2 Verses 45 - 47
The lecture was given by Swami Tattwamayananda on May 3, 2019.
The evolution of the three gunas:
-Tamoguna to Rajoguna to Sattvaguna
-Karma-yoga in contrast to the karma-marga of the Mimamsaka philosophers
-The importance of mental attitude in karma-yoga in contrast to the Mimamsaka’s insistence on the letter of the law and Arjuna's fascination for the latter -Sri Krishna corrects Arjuna.
-The unknown and the unpredictable factor in our life, actions and results of our actions.
-Reference to John Stuart Mill's book 'Utilitarianism'.
-Beyond theoretical knowledge, towards experience.
-A man established in sattvaguna is naturally calm, fearless, balanced and compassionate. He is also extremely sensitive towards his fellow beings. He has established a link to the transcendental.
-Behind his unhurried movements and external aloofness, there is a dynamic humanism and spontaneous spirituality.
-Who is an ideal Brahmana? The Gita is contrasted with Buddha's view ('The Dhammapada' - 26).
