Ultimate premise of Self-realization :
Immortal soul is more important than the passing world!
Self wears Body as garment; when it is old , it is cast aside
and new one put-on;
Thus Soul or Jiva travels from Life to Life (Rebirth or Samsara)
We cannot realize this Truth if we cannot unentangle from the conditioning of Life :
Dualities : Pleasure-Pain , Success-failure, Vicotry-Defeat
Gita basically teaches a basic detachment from pleasure and pain;
and defines Yoga: Evenness of Mind :
as the "Skill in Action"
Yoga is to detach oneself from the dualities of the
Pain & Pleasure,
Success and Failure;
Yoga then is defined as the tool :
"To establish oneself in the unshakable equanimity and profound peace of mind"
If in the realm of action ,
His Judgment will be better and his vision clear
If he is not emotionally entangled in Outcome of what he does!
