The fifty-ninth in a series of talks by Swami Nirmalananda Giri (Abbot George Burke) on the Bhagavad Gita, India’s most famous scripture: the unforgettable dialog between Sri Krishna and Arjuna about the essence of spiritual life.
In this talk, starting with Chapter 13:08, Swamiji discusses more from a list of qualities Krishna says are essential for the yogi to attain liberation (moksha).
Here are the Gita verses (13:08–13:10) covered in this talk:
Detachment from the objects of sense, absence of egotism, keeping in mind the evils of birth, death, old age, disease, and pain, (13:8)
Non-attachment, absence of clinging to son, wife, home and suchlike; constant even-mindedness in desired and undesired events, (13:9)
Unswerving devotion to me with single-minded yoga, living in secluded places, having distaste for association with many people, (13:10)
