Chapter 14, THE YOGA OF DISTINCTION OF THE THREE GUNAS.
Every Saturday from 9:30 AM -10.45 AM EDT.
Live Online through Zoom.
Classes are open to all.
The thirteenth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita explained the distinction between Spirit and matter, in particular, how Spirit/Divinity manifests through a person’s actions, emotions, and thoughts as they advance on the spiritual path.
The fourteenth chapter explains how every human being is constituted of three different gunas - sattva, rajas, and tamas - and how these qualities bind a person to the world and obscure the Divinity within. The state of Enlightenment lies beyond these gunas and can be reached by a seeker who pursues it with single-pointed focus. The chapter concludes by describing the characteristics of a person established in that exalted state. These characteristics also serve as guidelines for a seeker to measure their own spiritual growth.
Participants will have opportunities to clarify their doubts through weekly discussion forums and bimonthly question-and-answer sessions.
