LESSONS FROM BHAGAVAD GITA – 43

As taught by Parama Pujya Sri Swamiji

 

“As a blazing fire reduces all fuel to ashes, so O

Arjuna, does the fire of knowledge reduce all action

to ashes.”

 

A fully burning fire reduces a huge pile of wood to

ashes without leaving a single piece. Similarly, all

the actions, good as well as bad, done in the past and

the present are consumed by the fire of knowledge and

so are the effects arising out of those actions. As

the fire of knowledge reduces all actions to ashes

there remains not even a single action the effect of

which can upset the doer of actions when it is

experienced. That is the meaning of the destruction

of actions. That means the doer of actions will be

like one who has not done any action. Though a doer,

he will be a non-doer. Even while performing actions,

he will be in inaction because, after the acquisition

of knowledge, the effects of all actions are

destroyed, as they cannot produce any effects.
