And yet, while speaking the Gita, Krishna Himself refers to Vedanta-sutra to

support His conclusions:

 

----

> pancaitani maha-baho

> karanani nibodha me

> sankhye krtante proktani

> siddhaye sarva-karmanam

>

> TRANSLATION

>

> O mighty-armed Arjuna, according to the Vedanta there are five causes for

> the accomplishment of all action. Now learn of these from Me.

> A question may be raised that since any activity performed must have some

> reaction, how is it that the person in Krsna consciousness does not suffer

> or enjoy the reactions of work? The Lord is citing Vedanta philosophy to

> show how this is possible. He says that there are five causes for all

> activities, and for success in all activity one should consider these five

> causes. Sankhya means the stalk of knowledge, and Vedanta is the final

> stalk of knowledge accepted by all leading acaryas. Even Sankara accepts

> Vedanta-sutra as such. Therefore such authority should be consulted.

(Bg 18.13)

And we will become sahajiyas if we don't research.
