Guest guest Posted May 30, 2001 Report Share Posted May 30, 2001 BHAGAVAD-GITA 18:15 sarira-van-manobhir yat karma prarabhate narah nyayyam va viparitam va pancaite tasya hetavah WORD FOR WORD sarira--by the body; vak--speech; manobhih--and mind; yat--which; karma--work; prarabhate--begins; narah--a person; nyayyam--right; va--or; viparitam--the opposite; va--or; panca--five; ete--all these; tasya--its; hetavah--causes. TRANSLATION Whatever right or wrong action a man performs by body, mind or speech is caused by these five factors. PURPORT The words "right" and "wrong" are very significant in this verse. Right work is work done in terms of the prescribed directions in the scriptures, and wrong work is work done against the principles of the scriptural injunctions. But whatever is done requires these five factors for its complete performance. Copyright 1983 The Bhaktivedanta Book Trust International. Used with permission.
