Gautamji talks on Chapter 2 - The Yoga of Knowledge

In this episode, Krishna teaches Arjuna that the material world is temporary, while the true self is eternal and indestructible. Quoting the Kathopanishad, he emphasizes that the soul neither kills nor is killed. Our finite time should be used to realize this immortal self. Gautamji illustrates the concept of the witness within (sakshi) with the example of petrol in a car, highlighting that life depends on our choices. Vedanta provides the knowledge to make the right decisions and actions.
