Video Information: 08.06.2023, Gita Samagam English, Goa
Description:
Acharya Prashant discusses the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, particularly Chapter Two, Verse 15, which emphasizes equanimity amidst pain and pleasure. He explains that the experiencer, often identified with the ego, assigns meaning to experiences based on personal desires and fears, leading to suffering and happiness. The ego, being incomplete and fragile, seeks validation from the external world, resulting in dependency.
Acharya Prashant equates equanimity with immortality, asserting that true immortality is not about physical longevity but about operating from a place of inner completeness, free from the ego's fears and desires. He emphasizes that when one recognizes their true self, detached from worldly experiences, external events lose significance. Ultimately, Acharya Prashant conveys that letting go of the ego leads to inner peace and freedom, allowing one to live a tranquil life unperturbed by external circumstances.
