Description

Acharya Prashant addresses the difficulty of achieving the state of equanimity and action without attachment as described by Shri Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita. He explains that the expectation of reaching such a sublime and fulfilling state quickly is premature and misplaced. Liberation is priceless and cannot be bought, yet it requires the highest possible price from an individual: the surrender of one's entire self and personality. This process involves immense conscious effort, determination, and the willingness to fight against one's own internal crookedness and innumerable disappointments.
