Chapter - 2 Sankhya Yoga
We are now taking up second chapter of Gita called "Sankhya Yoga" or the yoga of knowledge. It consists of 72 verses and shows how Arjuna was wrong, the philosophy of life and death, and what are the qualities of a "Sthita Prajna" - one who is steady in his wisdom. Verses 1 to 10 are about the doubt of Arjuna and his surrender to the Lord for their solution. Verses 11 to 38 are about the immortality of soul. Verses 39 to 53 show how action does not bind the soul and rest of the verses show the condition of a "Sthitaprajna"
