In this clip taken from discourse titled, \"Bhagavad Gita -- Chapter 3: Beauty of Purposelessness\", Swamiji explains from our childhood we are conditioned to run in the rat race and are taught that life has a purpose. Actually, life has no purpose. We are running behind what we think brings us fulfilment only to be left unfulfilled at the end of it. In the process of running, we postpone our enjoyment and miss a whole dimension of our being."}]},{"type":"heading","level":2,"anchor":"Link_to_Video:","content":[{"type":"text","text":"Link to Video:"}]},{"type":"embed","provider":"youtube","url":"https://www.youtube.com/embed/rNyQwjspcGU?","align":"center","width":640,"height":360},{"type":"heading","level":2,"anchor":"Link_to_Audio","content":[{"type":"text","text":"Link to Audio"}]},{"type":"heading","level":3,"anchor":"Bhagavad_Gita_Chapter_3_Life_is_Purposeless","content":[{"type":"text","text":"Bhagavad Gita Chapter 3 Life is Purposeless"}]},{"type":"embed","provider":"soundcloud","url":"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://soundcloud.com/nithyananda-radio/2008-11nov-23_bhagavad-gita?in=nithyananda-radio/sets/2008-playlist&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true","width":186,"height":70},{"type":"heading","level":2,"anchor":"Transcription","content":[{"type":"text","text":"Transcription"}]}]},"images":{}}
