The Yoga of Dejection is a discourse on the first chapter of Bhagavad Gita

The Yoga of Dejection is a discourse on the first chapter of Bhagavad Gita. This work analyzes the root cause of dejection. Unless the cause is ascertained, no remedy can be sought. Everyone faces an identity crisis at some point in his or her life as a result of which one’s priorities become misplaced. Thus all our endeavors meet with dejection sooner or later. Dejection can become a stepping stone to ultimate success by awarding us the opportunity to seek our real identities and to relinquish our misconceived identities. The Bhagavad Gita shows how this may come about by treating dejection as a form of yoga. Yoga here means discovery of the true self and its communion with the Absolute.
