correction on gIta 4.14

[Guest guest]

dear bhAgavathAs,

 

In my post on bhagavad gIta 4.14, I made a glaring mistake!

hEtu is *NOT* the enemy, hAni is the enemy. In fact

hEtu is something that aids in one's effort , the cause!!

 

 

I wrote

---begin quote

Our pUrvAchAryAs interpret the above slOkam differently.

karmabihi in the second line is interpreted to be

those karmAs that are a hEthu (enemy) to start karmayOga.

----end quote.

 

the last line should read

those karmAs that are a hAni to start karma yOga.

 

Similarly towards the end of the post,

---begin quote

{i.e. not bound by the karmAs that are towards the dEvathAs

etc.. that are a hEtu to the jIva beginning the real karma yOga

as prescribed by the Lord}

----end quote

the second line should read

-- that are a hAni to the jIva beginning the real karma yOga

 

My apologies for the glaring mistakes.
