Quote from Devi Gita, translated by Swami Satyananda

[Guest guest]

Chapter 6, verses 9-13: ..."the actions performed in the presence of Ignorance can only

again create Ignorance. Then it cannot be anticipated that Ignorance can be destroyed by

actions. // Again, actions do not give this effect (of destroying Ignorance), Again and

again some result is desired from action. Attachment arises from desire, and some fault

will make the attainment fall short of perfection. // Therefore, humanity should put forth

every effort to attain Wisdom. Since action is mandated for existence, therefore all are

bound to act. // The ultimate liberation rises only from Wisdom. Therefore action with

Wisdom is a helper in the path of liberation. // Thus some say that (Wisdom and Action)

cannot be in opposition. Wisdom cuts the knots of the heart, while Action makes this

possible."

 

Jai Maa! --With Mother's and Swamiji's blessings, may we all put forth effort in our various

Sadhanas to attain this freedom from bondage! --Gautamananda Saraswati
