Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2: Action Without Attachment (Sankhya Yoga)
Details
A reflective discussion on clarity, responsibility, and how to act wisely when outcomes are uncertain.
***
What do you do when clarity arrives, but certainty still doesn’t?
In Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2, the focus shifts from emotional paralysis to understanding — not by removing doubt, but by learning how to act despite it. This chapter explores how wisdom reframes action, responsibility, and inner stability when life refuses to give guarantees.
