Abstract
In the present paper, we offer an analysis of the conceptions of the self and its knowledge in the Bhagavad Gītā, and of their relation to the interiorization of vedic sacrifice. In order to carry out this analysis, we take as our starting point the hypothesis of the stratified composition of the text, proposed by the historical-critical studies of the Bhagavad Gītā, and focus our exam, to the upaniṣadic stratum. Our methodology involves the analysis of the text in its original language, Sanskrit, and its interpretation taking into consideration the intertextual character of the treatise. Our conclusions seek to elucidate the concepts analyzed and we also show that the upaniṣadic stratum of the Bhagavad Gītā would have evinced a monistic conception of reality characteristic of pre-classical sāṃkhya.
