UPADESA SARAM STUDY - VERSE 3

[Guest guest]

Disinterested action

Surrendered to the lord

Purifies the mind and points

The way to moksha .

 

K.Swaminathan

 

 

But acts performed without any attachment , in the sprit of service

to God,cleanse the mind and point the way to Liberation.

 

Arthur Osborne

 

 

But acts performed without attachment's urge

And solely for the service of the Lord

Will cleanse the mind and indicate the way

Which leads at lentgth unto the final goal .

 

Sadhu Arunachala [Maj.A.W.Chadwick]

 

 

Action dedicated to the Lord and not done with desire purifies the

mind and effects liberation.

 

Ganapati Muni

 

 

When life itself is offered service

to the inmost lord ,

and hope,fear and desire, fall away

from such consecrated day and night ,

this is the purification of the heart.

It is the shaft of light piercing the Abyss .

 

Anantanarayanan

 

 

When there is total acceptance that all actions happen purely by

the will of God and if the fruits and the consequences are

accepted as His Grace , the mind gets purified and attains

freedom from expectations .
