Arjuna was overpowered by his attachment to his kith and kin. The problem was his wrong thinking and he ended up making false judgements.
It took me 4 months to finish reading Bhagawad Gita but you can learn all of it in 2 mins.
Here are the chapter-wise takeaways:
Arjuna was overpowered by his attachment to his kith and kin. The problem was his wrong thinking and he ended up making false judgements.
Arjuna surrenders to Krishna after he realised that all of his problems were due to ignorance and that the right knowledge can solve all of his problems.
Karmayoga is a selfless service. A karma yogi is someone who is not concerned about the result and is free from the attachments of the world.
A person who follows a lord and his teachings become liberated.
A true karmayogi dedicates all his actions to the lord without thinking about the result. This is how one develops self-control, renounces ego and stays in bliss.
Meditation is the key to transforming the extrovert mind into a contemplative mind and connecting with your true self.
This leads to a peaceful and detached life.
Meditation helps you discover “who you are”.
One who truly surrenders to God and worships with his attributes discovers his true self.
The rewards you receive at the end are always worth the wait. So don’t give up and keep being committed to your goals.
Always count your blessings and be grateful for what you have achieved so far.
Comparison is the ultimate enemy of your happiness.
Meditation helps you unlock the miracles of life. The entire universe is the divine manifestation of god.
You are everything and everything is in you.
Once you understand this, you’ll understand the truth.
Once you understand that the divine loves you, you cannot but fall in love with the divine.
Absorb your mind in the higher.
Materialistic things are nothing but a waste of energy and time. It won’t get you anywhere near your growth or goals.
Identify yourself as self, not as a body.
This is when you see the true you and find your vision. Live a lifestyle that aligns with it.
Always prioritise the divine. The first step is to develop detachment, pride, and sorrow and be free from worldly pursuits.
Just keep giving.
Krishna discusses the importance of virtues over vices in this chapter.
Have patience, truth, a sense of control, humility over ego, greed, slander, and attachment.
You can have the power of choosing right over the pleasant by acquiring knowledge and living life as a Satvic.
Renunciation doesn't mean abandoning real life or living with indifference to the world. It simply means living as a Karma yogi and letting go of all the things that hold you back and moving forward.

Once upon a time there was a Raja named Uttānapāda born of Svayambhuva Manu,1st man on earth.He had 2 beautiful wives - Suniti & Suruchi & two sons were born of them Dhruva & Uttama respectively.

Now Suniti was the daughter of a tribal chief while Suruchi was the daughter of a rich king. Hence Suruchi was always favored the most by Raja while Suniti was ignored. But while Suniti was gentle & kind hearted by nature Suruchi was venomous inside.
#KrishnaLeela
The story is of a time when ideally the eldest son of the king becomes the heir to the throne. Hence the sinhasan of the Raja belonged to Dhruva.This is why Suruchi who was the 2nd wife nourished poison in her heart for Dhruva as she knew her son will never get the throne.
One day when Dhruva was just 5 years old he went on to sit on his father's lap. Suruchi, the jealous queen, got enraged and shoved him away from Raja as she never wanted Raja to shower Dhruva with his fatherly affection.
Dhruva protested questioning his step mother "why can't i sit on my own father's lap?" A furious Suruchi berated him saying "only God can allow him that privilege. Go ask him"

We know that elite institutions like the one Flier was in (partial) charge of rely on irrelevant status markers like private school education, whiteness, legacy, and ability to charm an old white guy at an interview.
Harvard's discriminatory policies are becoming increasingly well known, across the political spectrum (see, e.g., the recent lawsuit on discrimination against East Asian applications.)
It's refreshing to hear a senior administrator admits to personally opposing policies that attempt to remedy these basic flaws. These are flaws that harm his institution's ability to do cutting-edge research and to serve the public.
Harvard is being eclipsed by institutions that have different ideas about how to run a 21st Century institution. Stanford, for one; the UC system; the "public Ivys".
As a dean of a major academic institution, I could not have said this. But I will now. Requiring such statements in applications for appointments and promotions is an affront to academic freedom, and diminishes the true value of diversity, equity of inclusion by trivializing it. https://t.co/NfcI5VLODi
