Thirty threads through seven hundred verses

The sequence of the thirty themes is not alphabetical, nor is it based on the chapters of the Gītā. It follows, as closely as a linear sequence can, the soul's own inward pilgrimage as the Gītā describes it.

The journey begins with Arjuna's Questions — the voice of the seeker in crisis, the doubting human heart that makes the teaching necessary. It moves through Fools (what the unawakened looks like, so we may recognize these qualities in ourselves), through Yuddha (the outer battle that is also the inner battle), through Ego (the root of the human problem), Svabhāva (the raw material of the path), Dharma (duty as the entry to the path), Adhikārin (who is fit to receive the teaching), Karman and Law of Karma (the mechanics of action and its consequences), Yajña (how action is transformed into offering), Sannyāsa–Tyāga (the inner renunciation that transforms action), Samatva (equanimity as the definition and fruit of yoga), Sādhana (the practical disciplines), Dhyāna (meditation as the central inward practice), Guṇa and Sāṅkhya (the analytical framework of nature's constitution).

From this foundation in analysis and practice, the journey rises to the devotional (Bhakti), the knowledge dimension (Jñāna), the experience of the Self (Ātma-Tattva), the portrait of the one who has realized it (Emulative Qualities), the direct encounter with the Divine (the Māṁ-Verses), the Lord as personal sovereign (Īśvara), His glories in the world (Vibhūti), His overwhelming universal presence (Darśana).

The final arc moves from the depths of cosmic structure (Cosmology) to the Absolute (Brahman) to the peace of Liberation (Mokṣa), and closes with Samanvaya — the great synthesis that reconciles all paths — and then Itare and Appendix, which hold the context, the narrative, and the frame within which all of this has been spoken.
