The Yoga of Wisdom: Chapter 2 of the Gita

Chapter 2 of the Bhagavad Gita—Sankhya Yoga or The Yoga of Wisdom—stands as a complete spiritual teaching in itself. It begins with a moment of profound vulnerability: Arjuna’s surrender. In his confusion and despair, he turns to Lord Krishna not merely for consolation, but for transformation.

What follows is a masterful transmission of eternal truth. In this illuminating course, we will unpack the core teachings of this chapter:

• The opening surrender of Arjuna, symbolizing the readiness for true knowledge
• The nature of the Self—eternal, unborn, untouched by death or decay
• The essence of Karma Yoga—acting without attachment and ego involvement
• The inspiring characteristics of the Sthitaprajna, the sage established in Self-awareness
