The first word is "Dharma" & the last word is "Mama". Its all about doing ones duty.
Very quick recap of first 4 chapters.
Chap 1 - Panoramic view of battlefield & the vast armies & illustrious warriors
Chap 2 - Atma & Parmatya gyan : Sankhya yoga. Index to rest of Gita. Shows him the goal here and rest of the chapters takes him thru details. Do your duty with spirit of renunciation & sense of sacrifice. Be Stithpragya.
Chap 3 - Arjun reluctant to fight , argues if God can be reached by alternate route. Karam Yoga (doing self less action) is essential. (KYC- karma Yoga chap)
Chap 4 - Knowledge passed thru Avatars. Thirst for knowledge and search for Guru and he / she is the guide.
So far Karam Yog & introduces sacrifice
Chap 5 - Introduces sacrifices & leads to meditation. Arjun is a Sansari & has many desires hence Karam Yoga is the path for him. Going straight into Sankhya yog with complete mind control is not for everyone. The grahastha stage supports the rest of the 3 ashrams! Hence an important part of life. Being aware and having a KY attitude in this stage is key. Example of lotus un affected by the dirty water where it grows. Ever changing world.
