This week, we turn to the Bhagavad Gita for hope and resilience amid two defining crises: the 2026 Iran War’s escalations (U.S.-Israeli strikes, retaliatory barrages, energy shocks, global realignment) and AI-driven disruption to white-collar jobs (mass layoffs at firms like Salesforce and KPMG, identity loss for professionals). Arjuna’s battlefield despondency mirrors our moral paralysis, geopolitical fear, and career upheaval. Krishna’s counsel—equanimity in crisis, detached duty (karma yoga), the eternal Atman beyond transient actions, and paths of jnana, bhakti, and integral yoga—offers a framework to transform suffering into clarity, purpose, and inner steadiness.
