Chapter III

slOkA 31

 

Translation : Those people who always practice this

teaching of Mine and those who have faith in the

teaching and even those who do not have jealousy ;

those people also are released from the bondage of

karma.

 

Commentary :

1. People , who are qualified to follow the sAstrAs

and act according to this teaching of Mine . i.e, do

karma yOgA ; are released from the bondage of all past

karmAs , which have come from beginningless time.

 

2. Even if people do not adopt karma yOgA ; if they have

faith in this karma yOgA; then they are also released

from the bondage of past karmA.

 

3. Even people , who do not have faith in this karma

yOgA, but who do not hate it i.e, who do not find

fault with this meaning of sAstrAs , are also released

from the bondage of past karmAs.

In other words, al the three classes of people

mentioned above, are released from the bondage of karmA.

How ?

So ,as long as a person does not hate this teaching

of Mine regarding karma yOgA ; and if a person has faith

in this ; he will gradually be rid of his sins. A person

who does not hate this teaching , will gradually develop

faith in this teaching. A person who gets faith in this

teaching , will then start adopting the karma yOgA and

then get liberated. Thus all the three classes of people.

will get liberated in due course.
