Disloyalty haunts him from both directions. He would deceive his family and friends by fighting against them, but he would also deceive the Kurus by refusing to fight for their cause. He is wracked with grief over the fact that the Kuru army would even think of engaging in a war with their kinsmen. 2. What is the "embodied self"?

The "embodied self" is the self which has transcended the three characteristics of flawed mortal man. This person has risen above the flawed nature of the average person and has found balance within themselves and the universe. They practice self-discipline and humility. They have found the true self, the "embodied self," which is connected t the entire universe. These souls therefore achieve the prime goal of existence, finding the true nature of the self.

3. What might it mean to focus on the action and not the "fruits of action"?

The "fruits of action," or the plans and ideas for future actions can be useful in actual implementation. However, by focusing on the idea behind action too much can take away from the importance of the action itself. One who focuses on planning too much can also get so caught up in planning, that action is delayed and eventually...

By focusing on action, one can rightfully judge the worth of the person who has performed that action, rather than the person who consistently speaks about action.
4. Describe the yogi, the "man of discipline."

The yogi is a person who has mastered the various yogas. He or she has enough self-discipline to transcend beyond normal humans and has found the "embodied self." The yogi practices extreme self-discipline, and therefore serves as an example for all other men. He, or she, becomes a teacher of how to find the self and spirituality.

5. Why will the man of discipline attain pure joy?

Only the man of discipline will attain pure joy, because his joy is untainted by the plagues of normal men. He is able to transcend beyond the dramas of normal existence and live peacefully with the rest of the universe. It takes great discipline and humility to even understand what pure joy is. By reaching the high status of the yogi, one will therefore have the capacity to experience the joy of the universe.
