Why are all the chapters of the Gita called Yoga-shastra?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Yoga is the art of cutting the ties of attachment to the world while simultaneously uniting with the Divine, revealing the truth of your own self."
According to Osho, the Gita’s chapters are called Yoga-shastra because each one teaches yoga as both union and disunion: cutting the root of moha (attachment) to the world while joining you to the Divine, to truth, to your own self. This double‑edged guidance transforms Arjuna’s confusion, severing the false so the real connection can flower.
Each chapter shows how to drop clinginess to what’s false and connect with your true self and the Divine.
Why this matters practically
- Helps you spot moha (attachments) at the root, not just trim symptoms like greed.
- Guides real renunciation: release born of insight and joy, not pain or failure.
- Reorients daily choices from worldly ties to inner truth and clarity.
