this is a framework to move forward with clarity. you don't realise it, but you are doing something noble by explaining BHAGAVAD GITA, which will help society eventually.

Great read. Just wanted to add a few points here

I have been reading such texts and explanations for some years now

But I find these very impractical when I try to pursue them in real life.

When I stop providing emotional backing to my desires for a few days it might feel like I am free but eventually I feel empty and life feels meaningless.

I believe to just drop attachment is incomplete, these texts hint at a much larger transformation of the mind where it is convinced that it either needs nothing or already has everything.

Without such transformation it is impossible to be free of desires without feeling hollow and purposeless.

Some have written that Vishnu, of whom Krishna is an avatar, is still today sacrificing himself in fire as his way of justly sustaining the world. Many equate fire with desire thusly, "Burning, burning, this world burns, it burns with the fire of desire."

It appears that desire is the way of sustaining and the evolving the world; and it also appears that each of us will in time realize this, set desires aside, and return ourselves (sacrifice our limited selves) to the All-Pervading self from which we were formed. And so the world continues on, while in time each of us awakens from the dreams of desires to know the original limitless joy.
