(Gita-27) Krishna's Warning to Arjuna: Everyone is Making This Mistake
Who are the people who never understand Shri Krishna? The ones whose minds are full of Karmakand. If your mind is full of Karmakand, Shri Krishna himself has very clearly said, you will never understand the Gita because Karma Kand deals with desire, because whatever you do, you do for the sake of desire.

Acharya Prashant: The nature of, the process of Liberation is peculiar. You feel a certain angst within, a silent hollowness and to begin with, you venture out in search of something that can plug the hollow. The beginning will always be towards the external. That is inevitable. That is a rule, because that's how we are made. The eyes, all the senses, including the mind, they are by birth biologically programmed to look outside at the world. When you are in need or in trouble, you wave towards the world and the throat cries out for, ‘Help, help,’ again towards the world.
If something troubles you at one place, you do not run inwards, you do not run to your insides. You run towards another external place. Whatsoever has attracted you has always been a subject of the senses. So that's how we are configured. Hence it is inevitable. We said that the beginning will be in the outward direction.
That's also how the Vedas begin. They look outwards and that will always happen. That is not really a weakness. That is not a fault, not something to be ashamed of. That's a constitutional compulsion, the way we are constituted. So that's how we said the Vedas also begin. They look at the world.
