Tadany Um refúgio para a alma e um convite à consciência.
Bhagavad-Gita_भगवद्-गीता_Ch4_AI-Generated-Summary_Class-170_Acharya-TadanyIn this deeply practical and psychologically penetrating class on karma yoga, Acharya Tadany illuminated Krishna’s core teaching that action (karma) itself is not the source of suffering — our attachment to uncertain outcomes is — and that true mental freedom arises not from avoiding action but from understanding its true nature.
That is to say, we have complete control over our efforts but none over results, so perform duties skillfully while remaining detached from expectations, fear of failure, or craving for success.
Acharya Tadany introduced the powerful thermometer vs. thermostat analogy: the thermometer mentality is reactive and dependent — mood swings with external events (success elates, failure depresses); the thermostat mentality is proactive and self-regulated — consciously choosing equanimity, maintaining inner stability regardless of circumstances, becoming the creator of peace rather than a victim of conditions.
Acharya Tadany showed how this wisdom directly applies to Arjuna’s crisis: facing unavoidable war with devastating personal stakes, Arjuna was paralyzed by anxiety over outcomes — Krishna taught him to act from duty with a calm, relaxed mind, unburdened by mental suffering.
The class highlighted immediate, practical benefits — mental freedom from anxiety cycles, clarity in action, emotional stability, sustainable performance — and drew parallels to scientific discovery: just as gravity or electromagnetic waves were always true but unrecognized until understood, the nature of karma and detachment has always existed — knowledge reveals it, freeing us from historical misconceptions and mental stress.
Acharya Tadany concluded that liberation is possible while fully engaged in the world: actions are inevitable and necessary; suffering comes from attachment, not action itself; knowledge of karma’s true nature is the shield that transforms reactive beings into self-regulated thermostats, enabling us to live fully with wisdom, dedication, and inner peace.
