Why Attachment Blinds Us | Bhagavad Gita 1.1

The Question That Started Everything The Bhagavad Gita begins with a simple question. Yet hidden within that question is one of the greatest human weaknesses—attachment. As the armies gather on the sacred battlefield of Kurukshetra, King Dhritarashtra asks Sanjaya: "What did my sons and the sons of Pandu do?" At first glance, this seems like an ordinary question. But notice the separation: "my sons" and "the sons of Pandu." This subtle distinction reveals a powerful truth about human nature. When attachment takes over, we stop seeing people objectively. We begin dividing the world into "my side" and "their side." Even today, this mindset appears everywhere: • In families during disputes • In workplaces during conflicts • In politics and social debates • In our own personal decisions Chapter 1, Shloka 1 teaches us that the greatest battles often begin long before the battlefield. They begin in the mind. ________________________________________ In This Video ✅ The deeper meaning of Dhritarashtra's first question ✅ Why attachment clouds judgment ✅ The hidden psychology behind "my people vs others" ✅ The modern relevance of this ancient wisdom ________________________________________ Welcome to Katha Chakra.
