Words That Illumine

[Guest guest]

Bhagavadgeeta does not say that the objective results of one's actions

are to be renounced or kept away. In fact, it is impossible to do so.

Geeta exhorts the seeker to free his mind from the subjective effects

of all actions, which are but three -- ista (desirable), anista

(undesirable) and misra (mixture of the two). Any action with its

result surely evokes one of these reactions in the mind. Readiness to

accept it with samatva-buddhi and to go forward unaffectedly with

one's work, is the only renunciational note Geeta advocates and

inculcates.

 

This is more an inward spiritual effort of evenizing and integrating

the mind constantly with respect to actions and their subjective

impacts, rather than abandoning actions.
