Chapter 17: The Yoga of the Three Kinds of Faith

Krishna says, “Every being is born with innate faith, which is of three kinds: sattva-goodness, rajas-passion, and tamas-ignorance. The sattvic worship the Gods, the rajasic worship the demons (rakshasas) and the tamasic worship the ghosts/spirits. The food which is dear to each is of three types, as also ceremonies, austerity and almsgiving. Foods which increase life span, health, strength, happiness and…

Chapter 13: The Field & the Knower of the Field 

Krishna says, “The field is much more than your physical body. It includes the great elements*, egoism, intellect and unmanifested nature, your ten senses*, your mind and the five objects of the senses*. Also desire, hatred, pleasure, pain, your body, fortitude and intelligence. Knowledge includes humility, freedom from hypocrisy, non-violence, forgiveness, uprightness…”

It fosters wisdom, happiness and harmony...

It clouds discernment, giving rise to inertia, laziness and…
