Verse 5.11 teaches how to act for inner purification (आत्मशुद्धये). Verse 5.12 contrasts lasting peace with psychological bondage. And Verse 5.13 introduces one of the most powerful metaphors in the Bhagavad Gita — the body as the “city of nine gates.”This episode connects:• Bhagavad Gita 5.11 – Action without attachment• Bhagavad Gita 5.12 – Renouncing the fruit and attaining established peace (नैष्ठिकी शान्ति)• Bhagavad Gita 5.13 – The city of nine gates and non-doership• The psychology of burnout• Leadership without ego• Karma Yoga in modern lifeIf you’ve ever felt exhausted not by work — but by what you’re carrying inside your work — this conversation will change how you act.The Bhagavad Gita is not teaching escape.It is teaching how to work… without bleeding internally.🎧 Follow Beyond the Battlefield on Apple Podcasts for deep leadership insights through the Bhagavad Gita.🤖 BYB Interactive-GPT CompanionExplore Karma Yoga, excellence in action, and how Bhagavad Gita insights help you lead with calm, clarity, and purpose:https://chatgpt.com/g/g-6845186212588191ae7aa9e327bebc9a-byb-interactive📩 Write to us: [email protected]
