  Now, here's your host, Julia London.
• 0:24
  Do you want to become enlightened?
• 0:26
  And self-realized, the bhagavad-gita is one of the most
• 0:30
  famous pieces of Hindu literature, but contrary to
• 0:34
  popular beliefs is actually more of a spiritual texts rather than
• 0:38
  religious. It's a spiritual guide with
• 0:40
  Timeless, wisdom on how to live your life and it's a must read
• 0:44
  for every spiritual Seeker. Today, I'll go through what the
• 0:48
  bhagavad-gita is about. And three key spiritual lessons
• 0:52
  that I took away. So if you have read the book and
• 0:55
  you are confused, what the lessons are or if you've never
• 0:59
  read it. Just want to get straight to the
• 1:01
  good stuff then in this episode is for you.
• 1:04
  I'm Julia and I helped spiritual Seekers like you step into your
• 1:07
  purpose and power so make sure to subscribe.
• 1:10
  It was a while ago that I read this book but luckily, today's
• 1:14
  sponsor short form has a book summary for us with some key
• 1:18
  spiritual lessons, which will get into soon, the ghee tail.
• 1:21
  Winds up dramatically with Prince, are you not collapsing
• 1:25
  in the brink of war that he doesn't want to fight?
• 1:28
  He has lost his way on the The field of life and turns to his
• 1:31
  spiritual guide, streak Krishna the Lord himself Krishna replies
• 1:36
  with instructions, on living and dying, loving and working, and
• 1:39
  the nature of the soul. And although the battlefield is
• 1:42
  a perfect backdrop, the Gita subject is the war within the
• 1:46
  struggle for self Mastery. That every human has to fight
• 1:50
  lesson. Number one that I got from the
• 1:52
  bhagavad-gita. Is that anything temporary?
• 1:55
  Should not be considered real. This includes fiscal things like
• 1:59
  possession. It's thoughts, feelings and
• 2:02
  Sensations Krishna calls the sense objects.
• 2:06
  Now, you might be thinking, wait, Julie.
• 2:08
  Are you saying objects? Feelings?
• 2:10
  Thoughts, Sensations. These are all not real, then
• 2:14
  what is actually left? That isn't real, what's real?
• 2:16
  And what's left? And Never Dies is your soul or
• 2:20
  purusa. You've had lots of Life times
• 2:23
  and each time, your body will look different, your
• 2:27
  circumstances will be different. Your thoughts and feelings will
• 2:29
  be different. But what stays the same is your
• 2:32
  soul. And this reminds me of a quote
• 2:34
  from another amazing book called living meditation.
• 2:38
  And here it says, we work so hard to obtain perishable
• 2:41
  things. Would we really invest
• 2:44
  everything we have in a business, they renew was doomed
• 2:47
  to fail. So the end of your life, it
• 2:49
  doesn't matter how many physical objects.
• 2:52
  You have acquired, the size of your house.
• 2:54
  How much money you have? It's a business that we know
• 2:57
  it's going to fail and this is why Our spiritual progress
• 3:01
  should be your priority because you actually take that with you
• 3:04
  when you die and krishna's has this.
• 3:06
  Another real thing. And that is God, the Divine and
• 3:11
  you are part of this. You are part of a Divine, you
• 3:14
  are a god, spark of, Son, of God, whatever you want to call
• 3:17
  yourself. So you are Divine.
• 3:20
  So this means that God is not something outside of you.
• 3:24
  It's within. And when we meditate and we draw
• 3:26
  our attention up to the third eye.
• 3:29
  That is where we Get into contact with our Divine Essence.
• 3:32
  Lesson number two is that you should selflessly.
• 3:34
  Fulfill your Dharma Dharma is doing what's right?
• 3:38
  And following your purpose. Now if you don't know what your
• 3:41
  purpose is, I have a free guide link in the description on how
• 3:45
  to find your purpose in 5, simple steps.
• 3:47
  Now I don't think this means that you shouldn't make money
• 3:50
  doing what you love doing your purpose because otherwise it
• 3:53
  would mean you would have to still keep a draining purpose,
• 3:57
  less 9 to 5 job on the side. Rather, what it means is that
• 4:00
  You should push forward with your, your soul Mission with
• 4:02
  your purpose, regardless of the outcome.
• 4:05
  So if you are a YouTuber like me, it means that you share your
• 4:09
  videos. Even if they get zero views, you
• 4:11
  just keep moving forward. You leave the results in God's
• 4:16
  hands. Let's the number three is escape
• 4:19
  from karma. Karma is was binds you to the
• 4:22
  cycle of life and death. So once you break free from
• 4:26
  Karma, it means you can decide if you want to come back to
• 4:29
  earth. United Source, go to other
• 4:32
  planets, you become a sovereign free Soul.
• 4:34
  So what does karma actually mean?
• 4:38
  It means that what you doing this lifetime, affect your
• 4:41
  upcoming lifetimes and every action you do whether good or
• 4:45
  bad gets added to your karma. So if you did something bad,
• 4:48
  let's say you you stole something from someone, then it
• 4:51
  can mean that in the next lifetime someone will steal
• 4:53
  something from you and with Good Karma, it's the opposite.
• 4:56
  So let's say you helped someone or not.
• 4:59
  Money. That means in the next lifetime
• 5:02
  you might earn a lot of money yourself, or you will be
• 5:05
  rewarded in another way. It doesn't have to be in the
• 5:08
  same way. So how do you skip Karma?
• 5:11
  If you collect it, whether you've done something good or
• 5:13
  bad. Well by selflessly, doing your
• 5:16
  Dharma like we talked about in the last spiritual lesson, you
• 5:21
  don't add to your karma. So what I do at the end of every
• 5:25
  day to minimize karma, is I go through a checklist in my
• 5:29
  Journal. It was say things.
• 5:31
  Like did you lie to anyone today?
• 5:35
  Did you say something mean to anyone today?
• 5:37
  Did you eat meat? And then I check in.
• 5:40
  And by the end of the month, I can see.
• 5:42
  Okay? This is the score I got for this
• 5:43
  month. Let's try to reduce the next
• 5:45
  month. Now, if you want to dive deeper
• 5:47
  into the bhagavad-gita, then I recommend you do the exercises
• 5:51
  in short form, and look at each chapter overview, to get a
• 5:55
  deeper look into what they all say, and all the spiritual
• 5:59
  lesson. Since short form is the home of
• 6:02
  super-powered book summaries and readers actually get to vote on
• 6:07
  which books to cover. It's not a replacement of books
• 6:10
  but if you like me and you have a long list of books that you
• 6:13
  want to read, then this is a great way to get straight to the
• 6:15
  good stuff. I read one book summary a day as
• 6:18
  part of my morning routine and sometimes when I go for walks, I
• 6:21
  like to listen to the audio versions.
• 6:23
  You can find books in many categories.
• 6:24
  My favorites are spirituality, self-improvement and
• 6:27
  relationships to get five days of us.
