The Eternal Self
Krishna's first teaching cuts to the heart of human confusion: we are not our bodies, our thoughts, or our roles. This chapter explores the indestructible essence within, what it means to have a steady mind, and how to distinguish the observer from what is observed. Identity clarity changes everything.
