🌸Bhagavad Gita - Chapter 9 🌸
The ninth chapter of the Bhagavad-gita talks about how people feel disconnected from the natural order of the universe and how finding our place in it can lead to a happier life. It answers questions about the nature of the Self, where the diverse world comes from, and how prayer works. Lord Krishna tells Arjuna that anyone, even those who struggle the most, can improve by seeking spiritual values. Krishna shares this deep knowledge with Arjuna, stressing the need to be open and willing to learn. The chapter contrasts the pursuit of spiritual goals with the temporary pleasures of life, encouraging a life of dedication and self-improvement. Overall, it offers a hopeful message for spiritual growth and renewal.

This introductory talk is part 1 of 2 excerpted from a rare series of talks given by Pujya Swami Chinmayananda at Standard University, Stanford, CA in 1977.
