In this discourse, Acharya Prashant explains verse 2.52 from the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, where Shri Krishna speaks to Arjun. He begins by quoting the verse, which states that when one's intellect crosses the mire of delusion, one becomes indifferent to what has been heard and what is yet to be heard. The speaker clarifies that Shri Krishna is telling Arjun that when his intellect is freed from delusion and ignorance, which are considered sins, he will attain dispassion ('vairagya') towards all worldly subjects, rendering them meaningless. The key term used by Shri Krishna is 'Nirveda,' meaning dispassion or indifference. When delusion and ignorance are removed, one is liberated from the bondage of all that has been heard, particularly the desire-based, ritualistic sections (Karmakand) of the Vedas. Acharya Prashant elaborates that Shri Krishna is guiding Arjun away from the desire-driven actions mentioned in the Vedas. He explains that a person attached to such actions, which promise future rewards like heavenly pleasures (swarg), can never attain true knowledge. The common understanding of religion, based on a transactional system of sin (paap) and merit (punya), is a form of cultural morality that has ensnared Arjun. This system is contrasted with the path of selfless action (Nishkam Karma Yoga) and the ultimate knowledge of Vedanta, whose goal is liberation (moksha or mukti), not mere pleasure (sukh). The speaker asserts that the pursuit of pleasure is the root of all suffering and is fueled by deep-seated cultural conditioning and stories. The speaker further distinguishes between two types of religion: the common religion, which aims for the fulfillment of desires, and the true religion (Vedanta), which aims for liberation from the mind itself. He notes that those who are deeply religious in the conventional sense often oppose Vedanta because it exposes their desire-based practices. The entire game of the Bhagavad Gita, according to the speaker, is about liberation from these very conditionings. He defines 'Samadhi' as the state where the intellect is free from the agitation of chasing pleasure. In this state, the intellect, instead of running after external objects, turns inward to observe its own workings and the tendencies that drive it. This is the state of equanimous intellect (Sambuddhi) that Shri Krishna wants Arjun to attain.
