Description:
Acharya Prashant elaborated on a key turning point in the Bhagavad Gita where Krishna changes his approach with Arjuna. Having failed to awaken Arjuna through direct self-knowledge, Krishna now preempts Arjuna’s resistance and outlines the factors that block true understanding. He highlights how intellect, when controlled by ego, becomes a hindrance rather than a tool for liberation.
Krishna warns that even the most profound teachings are ineffective without a receptive and prepared mind. Acharya Prashant explained that intellect is a resource easily exploited by ego, and true intelligence lies in using intellect for liberation, not self-preservation.
The session underscored the importance of self-awareness, decision-making, and removing inner resistance to understand the teacher’s message. This approach mirrors the tradition of neti-neti (negation), urging one to discard barriers before wisdom can take root.
