Why do the wise never grieve?

Arjuna grieves over Bhishma, Drona, and his kinsmen. But Krishna turns the focus inward, urging him to examine the very nature of his sorrow. The dead have always outnumbered the living. Life and death go together. If none were to die, where would even ants find space to move on this earth? What is needed is right understanding.

“The enlightened grieve neither for the living nor the dead.”

This verse marks the true beginning of Krishna’s teaching - where grief becomes the doorway to Self-knowledge. Drawn from the exposition of a knower of Truth and spiritual exponent, Poojya Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha, from Essential Slokas for Memorisation, Bhagavad Gita

What can truly remove grief from within?

Arjuna confesses that nothing in the outer world can relieve his sorrow. Not a prosperous kingdom. Not even sovereignty over the heavens.  His grief is so intense that it scorches both body and mind and no worldly gain, however great, can bring relief.

"I do not see anything to redress the sorrow scorching my senses." This verse reveals a profound truth: Worldly achievements cannot resolve inner suffering. Only a deeper understanding, true inner wisdom, has the power to bring lasting peace.

Verse of the Day | Bhagavad Gita 2.7 (Sankhya Yoga)

What does surrender mean in the Bhagavad Gita?

Arjuna admits he is deluded. His mind is constricted, and the path of dharma is unclear. Unable to decide, he turns to Krishna seeking shreyas, lasting good and inner clarity.

“Instruct me, I am your disciple.”

This verse marks the shift from confusion to true seeking.

Poojya Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha, from Essential Slokas for Memorisation, Bhagavad Gita

"Jñāna-Sādhanā – Knowledge Austerity."

"In the Knowledge Austerity, nothing is to be thought of or enquired into; rather, the very thinking and enquiring processes are to be dissolved into their own source, into the Self. This is actually an inner, subtle, refined process – an austerity in which mind and intelligence alone are employed. This is the real jñāna-sādhanā."
