Guest guest Posted August 19, 1999 Report Share Posted August 19, 1999 Sri: Sri Lakshminrisimha Parabrahmane Namaha Sri Ramanujaya Namaha Sri Nigamantha Mahadesikaya Namaha SRIMAD BHAGAVAD GITA - translation by Sri.V.N.Gopala Desikan Chapter III slOkA 19 Translation : Therefore always do karma yOgA that is to be done without attachment. Man attains the Supreme only by doing work without attachment. Commentary : Only if a person doesnot require any means to see his soul , he need not adopt such means ( as stated above). But if a person adopts some means for seeing his soul , even for him karma yOgA is better , in enabling him to see his soul. This is because karma yOgA is easy to do and there is no harm , if it is interrupted in the middle. Further , meditation on the nature of the soul is always included in karma yOgA. In the case of one doing jnAna yOgA also , performance of work is necessary. Therefore, always perform works( in accordance with sAstrAs) until the soul is realised. The works have to be performed without attachment and without the thought that you are the doer i.e. knowing that you are only the agent ( of the Lord). Thus by karma yOgA itself , you can attain the soul. adiyEn, senthil (Courtesy : Sri Visishtadvaita Research Centre) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
