Eastern Traditions Integration of actiondevotionand knowledge; cosmic consciousness

By Attributed to Vyasa; many translations

Summary

Krishna's discourse to Arjuna on the battlefield. Three paths to liberation: karma yoga (detached action), bhakti yoga (devotion), jnana yoga (knowledge). The cosmic vision (Vishvarupa) reveals Krishna as the universal form containing all time and space — a "cosmic consciousness" experience. The Self (Atman) is birthless, deathless, and beyond the gunas.

Why It Matters

The most widely read and influential spiritual text in Indian tradition. Its treatment of karma yoga is relevant to consciousness-in-action (flow states, satori-in-action).
