Karma Yoga & the Detached Yogi: Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2, Part 2

What does it mean to act without attachment—and why is that the key to spiritual freedom? Chapter 2 of the Bhagavad Gita is so rich, I had to split it into two parts—and this second half is where the real philosophical firepower kicks in 🔥 We’re diving into: 🔹 The essence of Karma Yoga—selfless action without clinging to outcomes 🔹 How the Yogi transcends dualities like success/failure, praise/blame 🔹 The clash between societal values and spiritual truth 🔹 How this all ties into Advaita Vedanta and non-dual awareness If you’ve ever struggled with “doing your Dharma” without burning out, this part of the Gita gives profound insight into how to act with devotion, not desperation. 📝 Download the Yoga For Self Mastery Syllabus => https://www.brettlarkin.com/yoga-for-self-mastery/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=podcast&utm_campaign=ysm   📖 Different translations mentioned: Barbara Stoler Miller: https://www.amazon.com/Bhagavad-Gita-Krishnas-Counsel-Bantam-Classics/dp/0553213652  Godsong by Amit Majmudar: https://www.amazon.com/Godsong-Verse-Translation-Bhagavad-Gita-Commentary/dp/1524733474  Eknath Easwaran: https://www.amazon.com/Bhagavad-Gita-2nd-Eknath-Easwaran/dp/1586380192  Bhagavad-Gita As It Is by Swami Prabhupada: https://www.amazon.com/Bhagavad-Gita-As-Bhaktivedanta-Swami-Prabhupada/dp/0892131233    FREE Practice: YOGA FOR STRESS RELIEF | Twisty Morning Yoga Flow for Women Relevant Blog: The Ultimate Guide to Karma Yoga   Relevant to Today’s Episode: 🐍 History of Yoga 🌀 Somatic Yoga Life Coaching  💫 Somatic Certification 🎧 Also Listen to: #287 – Redefining “Sadhana” - 3 Key Tips #297 – What is Samkhya Philosophy and How is it Different from Yoga? #358 – Intro to The Bhagavad Gita: How Do You Navigate Moral Dilemmas?   © 2025 Uplifted Yoga | BrettLarkin.com
