"As Arjuna set aside his bow and arrows, let us set aside any sense of confidence in our own abilities so that we may hear Krsna's words with full heart and attention. This kind of submissive hearing is the primary requirement for advancement in spiritual life. The devotee who hears Krsna's words with a submissive heart immediately feels an ingress of causeless knowledge and detachment." - H. G. Vaisesika Prabhu   Tips to Practice CHAD Access BG chapter in CHAD format from here. Print it and carry it with you or access the link from your mobile device wherever you go and fill in the gaps with your recitation of Bhagavad Gita.
