Maybe a little background for our new viewers. The way we approach the Gita, we’re going to talk about its spiritual psychology. That means we’re looking at how it applies to us today. What we know from psychology, especially from depth psychology, what we can see in the psychology of the spiritual traditions of the world, now we’re going to look at Eastern philosophy, particularly the philosophy that is encoded in the Gita. Now the Bhagavad Gita is considered the distillation of all the knowledge from the Upanishads. It’s written so well, it’s integrated into this incredible story of Krishna and Arjuna, who are about to fight a battle. Right before the battle, Krishna decides to instruct Arjuna on the philosophy of the self, philosophy of mind, what is going on in our world, in your mind, in reality. The Gita contains all that wisdom encoded in the Upanishads, which we’ll save for a later podcast because it’s a topic unto its own. But there’s a verse in there that talks about the four different kinds of spiritual seekers.
