A verse-by-verse examination of the guide to self-transformation
presented in the Bhagavad Gita
- Reveals the scientific approach to personal development and
spiritual enlightenment laid out in Krishna's advice to Arjuna
- Shows how the Gita prepares you to work with a guru, advocating
authenticity and skepticism rather than blind devotion and
obedience
- Explores Krishna's advice on which societal limitations to reject
to overcome your fears and reconnect with the suppressed parts of
your inner being
Drawing on his more than 40 years of in-depth study of Indian
Philosophy under the tutelage of his guru, Nitya Chaitanya Yati,
author Scott Teitsworth explores the scientific approach to
self-transformation and spiritual enlightenment encoded in
Krishna's advice to Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita. Providing a
verse-by-verse examination of the first two chapters, he reveals
the Gita's lessons to prepare the seeker to meet and successfully
work with a guru--whether an outside teacher or the intuitive
knowledge that arises from overcoming the psyche's learned
limitations.
The author shows that the Gita does not advocate blind devotion to
a guru or god but rather personal development, victory over your
fears, and liberation of the psyche. He demonstrates how Krishna's
advice provides tools to guide us out of our fear-based experiences
to reconnect with the suppressed parts of our inner being. He
explains how Arjuna's doubts and confusions represent the plight of
every person--we are born free but gradually become bogged down by
the demands of our society, continuously dependent on outside
authority for answers and disconnected from our true inner nature.
He reveals how Krishna's advice offers guidance for dealing with
life's conflicts, which societal limitations to reject, and how to
see through the polarizing notion of good versus evil to form a
balanced state of mind superior to both.
Restoring the fearless vision of the ancient rishis, who, like
today's scientists, prized skepticism as an important technique for
accessing truth, Teitsworth reveals the Gita as a guide to an
authentic guru-disciple relationship as well as to constructing a
life of significance, freedom, and true sovereign adulthood.
