Bhagavad Gita - Personality Development

[Guest guest]

Bhagavad Gita is considered to be the greatest treatise on

Personality Development. The ultimate penacle of developed personality

is Kaivalyam, or Moksham, Mukti or Liberation or to be an Advitin.There

is a profound interest for personality development among the youth now.

 

There are four dimentions of the human personality i.e

Physical,Mental, Intellectual and Spirituality. A harmonious growth of

all these aspects constitute the real personality.Swamy Vivekananda

repeatedly asserted that one will understand Gita better with strong

body.

 

My Question : What Bhagavad Gita told about the physical or body or

sariram dimention of human personality.
