Bhagavad Gita

Bhagavad Gita on Anxiety

The Gita does not use the modern clinical word “anxiety.” It does speak about sorrow, agitation of the senses, and the possibility of remaining steady when pleasant and painful conditions come and go.

Bhagavad Gita on Failure

Failure in the Gita is not treated as a modern career metric. Krishna repeatedly asks Arjuna to act, and not to let success or failure become the meaning of the self.

Bhagavad Gita on Success

Where modern searchers ask about success, the Gita talks about yoga, skill, and a mind that is not enslaved by gain.

Bhagavad Gita on Anger

The Gita treats anger as a downstream effect of desire and attachment, not as an isolated mood to “manage.”

Bhagavad Gita on Fear

Arjuna’s crisis begins in grief and shrinking from battle. The teaching that follows includes the nature of the self and qualities such as fearlessness.

Bhagavad Gita on Detachment

Detachment in the Gita is not indifference to duty. It is freedom from the binding claim to results, objects, and enmity.

Bhagavad Gita on Discipline

Discipline here is closer to yoga and abhyāsa than to harsh self-punishment. The Gita insists the mind is difficult, and still trainable.

Bhagavad Gita on Career and Work

The Gita’s battlefield setting is not a modern workplace. Readers still turn to it for how to act when duty is heavy and results are uncertain.

Bhagavad Gita on Dharma

Dharma in the Gita is duty, order, and the right way to stand in a crisis—not a loose synonym for “religion.”

Bhagavad Gita on Karma Yoga

Karma Yoga is one of the Gita’s central paths: perform action, but do not let the fruit bind you.

Bhagavad Gita on the Mind

Arjuna says the mind is as hard to restrain as the wind. Krishna agrees—and still teaches practice.

Bhagavad Gita on Death

Much of Chapter 2 is a teaching about what dies and what does not. Later chapters discuss the state of mind at death.
