Arjuna was overpowered by his attachment to his kith and kin. The problem was his wrong thinking and he ended up making false judgements.
It took me 4 months to finish reading Bhagawad Gita but you can learn all of it in 2 mins.
Here are the chapter-wise takeaways:
Arjuna was overpowered by his attachment to his kith and kin. The problem was his wrong thinking and he ended up making false judgements.
Arjuna surrenders to Krishna after he realised that all of his problems were due to ignorance and that the right knowledge can solve all of his problems.
Karmayoga is a selfless service. A karma yogi is someone who is not concerned about the result and is free from the attachments of the world.
A person who follows a lord and his teachings become liberated.
A true karmayogi dedicates all his actions to the lord without thinking about the result. This is how one develops self-control, renounces ego and stays in bliss.
Meditation is the key to transforming the extrovert mind into a contemplative mind and connecting with your true self.
This leads to a peaceful and detached life.
Meditation helps you discover “who you are”.
One who truly surrenders to God and worships with his attributes discovers his true self.
The rewards you receive at the end are always worth the wait. So don’t give up and keep being committed to your goals.
Always count your blessings and be grateful for what you have achieved so far.
Comparison is the ultimate enemy of your happiness.
Meditation helps you unlock the miracles of life. The entire universe is the divine manifestation of god.
You are everything and everything is in you.
Once you understand this, you’ll understand the truth.
Once you understand that the divine loves you, you cannot but fall in love with the divine.
Absorb your mind in the higher.
Materialistic things are nothing but a waste of energy and time. It won’t get you anywhere near your growth or goals.
Identify yourself as self, not as a body.
This is when you see the true you and find your vision. Live a lifestyle that aligns with it.
Always prioritise the divine. The first step is to develop detachment, pride, and sorrow and be free from worldly pursuits.
Just keep giving.
Krishna discusses the importance of virtues over vices in this chapter.
Have patience, truth, a sense of control, humility over ego, greed, slander, and attachment.
You can have the power of choosing right over the pleasant by acquiring knowledge and living life as a Satvic.
Renunciation doesn't mean abandoning real life or living with indifference to the world. It simply means living as a Karma yogi and letting go of all the things that hold you back and moving forward.

I love a good cover story.......
The guy had a face-to-face with El Grande Trumpo himself on Air Force One just 2 days ago. Inside just about the most secure SCIF in the world.
And Trump came out of AF1 and gave ol' Rod a big thumbs up!
And so we're right back to 'that dirty rat Rosenstein!' 2 days later.
At this point it's clear some members of Congress are either in on this and helping the cover story or they haven't got a clue and are out in the cold.
Note the conflicting stories about 'Rosenstein cancelled meeting with Congress on Oct 11!"
First, rumors surfaced of a scheduled meeting on Oct. 11 between Rosenstein & members of Congress, and Rosenstein just cancelled it.
Rep. Andy Biggs and Rep. Matt Gaetz say DAG Rod Rosenstein cancelled an Oct. 11 appearance before the judiciary and oversight committees. They are now calling for a subpoena. pic.twitter.com/TknVHKjXtd
