Bhagavad Gita Chapter 1: When Doing the Right Thing Feels Impossible
A reflective discussion on moral conflict, emotional overwhelm, and the moments when clarity collapses under pressure.
***
What happens when you know what’s expected of you — yet feel unable to act?
Bhagavad Gita Chapter 1 begins not with answers, but with paralysis, doubt, and emotional breakdown. This session explores those moments in life when conviction gives way to confusion, and action feels unbearably heavy.
