Bhagavad Gita

A dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna on the Kurukshetra field, preserved as part of the Mahabharata. SVARUPA treats it as a philosophical and literary text with many commentarial lineages, not as a single official meaning.

Smriti · Mahabharata

Bhagavad Gita

Eighteen chapters of dialogue. Chapter 2 (Sankhya Yoga) is often where Arjuna's despair meets a teaching on action, grief, and evenness.

Chapter 2 · Sankhya Yoga

The yoga of knowledge, and the turning of Arjuna's grief

Bhagavad Gita 2.14
“The contacts of the senses with the objects, O son of Kunti, which cause heat and cold, pleasure and pain, have a beginning and an end; they are impermanent; endure them bravely, O Arjuna.”
Bhagavad Gita 2.47
“Thy right is to work only, but never to its fruits; let not the fruit of action be thy motive, nor let thy attachment be to inaction.”
Bhagavad Gita 2.48
“Perform action, O Dhananjaya, being steadfast in Yoga, abandoning attachment and balanced in success and failure. Evenness of mind is called Yoga.”
Bhagavad Gita 2.50
“Endowed with the wisdom of evenness of mind, one casts off in this life both good and evil deeds; therefore, devote yourself to Yoga; Yoga is skill in action.”

Chapter 4 · Jnana Yoga

Knowledge, action, and the teaching of yoga

Bhagavad Gita 4.18
“He who sees inaction in action, and action in inaction, he is wise among men; he is a yogi and performer of all actions.”

Chapter 6 · Dhyana Yoga

The yoga of meditation, and the self as friend or enemy

Bhagavad Gita 6.5
“Let a man lift himself by himself; let him not degrade himself; for the Self alone is the friend of the self, and the Self alone is the enemy of the self.”
