The course is an in-depth study of the third chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, containing the illuminating teachings on the wisdom of Karma Yoga the emphasis that perfection is attained not by ceasing to engage in action but by doing all actions as a divine offering, imbued with a spirit of non-attachment and sacrifice.

Some of the topics included are:

• What makes our spiritual life fulfilling and fully integrated with our everyday activities
• How to cultivate mental equanimity and overcome emotional disturbances and attachments.
• How to attain Self-knowledge and inner freedom while engaging with the world.
• Wisdom concerning Yoga, endowed with which one shall cast off the bonds of action.
• The twofold path, the path of knowledge for those whose discriminative wisdom awakened and see the bliss within attained through Self-abidance and the path of action for those whose ignorance show the happiness being external and attainable by actions.
• The sage who has attained to perfection or reached the state of actionlessness rests in his own essential nature as Existence-Knowledge-Bliss Absolute (Satchidananda Svarupa). He has neither necessity nor desire for action as a means to an end. He has perfect satisfaction in the Self.
• Dharma or the cosmic divine order and the need to abide by it by performing one’s own duties or Swadharma.
• Without attachment, do thou always perform action which should be done; for, by performing action without attachment man reaches the Supreme.
• The Lord as the cosmic actor and sustainer of the worlds.
• All actions are the effects of the qualities of Nature or Gunas only. He whose mind is deluded by egoism thinks: “I am the doer”.
• Attraction and aversion (desire and anger) are the sources of bondage and wrong actions. They abide in the mind, intellect and senses.
• He whose mind is not shaken by adversity, who does not hanker after pleasures, and who is free from attachment, fear and anger, is called a sage of steady wisdom.
