Description

Acharya Prashant explains the fundamental difference between the Bhagavad Gita and the Ashtavakra Gita. He describes the Bhagavad Gita as a classroom or a school where Shri Krishna acts as a teacher and Arjun as a student. It is a teaching for the ego that has not yet made a choice, urging it to choose correctly amidst struggle and friction. In contrast, the Ashtavakra Gita is a description of the destination where the choice has already been made. It represents a state of celebration and certainty, where the ego and nature are in their place while the self remains detached and blissful. While the Bhagavad Gita guides the journey, the Ashtavakra Gita provides the fragrance and music of the goal, and together they accelerate a seeker's progress.
