Meaning

These peeps, so not woke, are all about the flowery language in the Vedas, spittin' fire about how there's nothing else, Arjuna.

Commentary

Okay, so like, these clueless peeps are, like, totally obsessed with the, like, *lit* parts of the Vedas that are all about, like, rituals and getting rewards. They're all, like, 'This is it! Heaven is the ultimate goal!' They're so into the whole Karma Kanda thing – it's, like, their whole vibe. But, like, the Vedas are actually two parts: Karma Kanda (all about actions and rituals) and Jnana Kanda (all about knowledge). The Karma Kanda peeps are all about those heavenly rewards, but, like, that's not the tea. Heaven's temporary, fam. Real liberation? That's about knowing yourself, not about doing a million sacrifices. Krishna's, like, 'Nah, that whole heaven thing? It's not the ultimate goal. It's not gonna get you true freedom.'
