Guest guest Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 48.yogasThaH kuru karmaaNi sangam thyakthvaa Dhananjaya sidDhyasidDyoh samo bhoothvaa samthvam yoga uchyathe Perform your actions without attachment with your mind established in yoga, being nonchalant about success and failure. Evenness of mind is yoga. The term yoga, as said earlier is karmayga. To give up attachment one should be free from desire and aversion. Then success and failure do not affect him. Whatever comes is accepted with equanimity.. Then he concentrates only on the work at hand and this is implied by saying, `yogasThah kuru karmaaNi,' do your work established in yoga. The phrase sangam thyakthvaa is used in the adverbial sense modifying the previous sentence, yogasThaH kuru karmaaNi. What is meant here is that one should have evenness of mind even before starting the work. Then only the attachment will go. Karmayoga is nothing but attaining the evenness of mind, samathvam. 49. dhoorEna hi avaram karma budDhiyogth Dhananjaya budDhou Saranam anvicCha krpaNaaH phalahethavaH The work which is done with an expectation of result is far inferior to that done as karmayoga. Hence you take refuge in evenness of mind. Those who do anything with a desire for result are to be pitied. dhoorEna avaram- far inferior. The difference between karma done as karmayoga and that done desiring result, is great. buDDhiyoga here means karmayoga. buddhou in evenness of mind which is karmayoga Saranam anviccha- means, it is the only resort for freedom from bondage. krpaNaaH – miserable ones. phalahethavaH- those who act for the result. These are to be pitied because they accumulate more and more karma by their desire motivated actions and get into bondage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
