Guest guest Posted June 19, 2002 Report Share Posted June 19, 2002 Chapter 3 Verse 31 Ye-me matam idaM nityam anutishhThanti maanavaaH / shraddhaavanto'nasuuyanto muchyante te'pi karmabhiH // Those men who always practice this teaching of mine, full of faith and unenvious, are also liberated from actions. LESSONS FROM BHAGAVAD GITA – 24 As taught by Parama Pujya Sri Swamiji Compiled by: Swami Dattananda Bhakti Mala, November 1994 "Those men who always practice this teaching of mine, full of faith and unenvious, are also liberated from actions." Those who ever abide by the instructions of the Lord (in verse 30) become free from the bonds of all actions, that is, the chain of action and reaction. They are liberated from actions in the sense that no action can taint them. They easily get elevated. But they should have implicit faith in the utterances of the Lord. Next, they should not be jealous of others' achievements. People who are given to envy or jealousy will not be able to appreciate the goodness in others. Their minds will always be impure and agitated. Such people cannot concentrate their minds on any noble work. On the other hand, they who are free from envy will possess serene and calm minds and have love for mankind. They are ever on the path of elevation, which they go on scaling. Thus it is clear that faith in the words of the Lord and scriptures and love for mankind are two primary requisites for any Karma Yogi. - Official partner of 2002 FIFA World Cup http://fifaworldcup.
