Guest guest Posted August 25, 1999 Report Share Posted August 25, 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 26 Translation : To the ignorant people attached to work, (one ) should not cause distraction of mind; the learned man doing (work) with devotion , should cause others to do all works. Commentary : You should not cause confusion in ignorant people , who are qualified for karma yOgA ( but not for jnana yOgA) by mentioning about jnana yOgA. You should not make them think that , apart from karma yOgA , there is another method for attaining the soul viz., jnAna yOgA. You should also not make them think that jnAna yOgA is superior to karma yOgA. So even if a person is qualified for jnAna yOgA, he should do work; since karma yOgA alone , independent of jnAna yOgA ,can enable him to see the soul. Thus he should develop desire in ordinary people also to do work, i.e., to do karma yOgA. adiyEn, senthil (Courtesy : Sri Visishtadvaita Research Centre) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
