Chapter 18

<< Chapter 18 Verse 5

Simple

etāny api tu karmāṇi
saṅgaṁ tyaktvā phalāni ca
kartavyānīti me pārtha
niścitaṁ matam uttamam

‘That such works as these ought to be done, forsaking attachment and fruits, is, Pārtha! My best and veritable verdict.’

Inasmuch as Yajña, Dāna, Tapas etc., are lustrational to the upāsakas, and partake of the nature of My worship, they must, like the upāsana itself, be practised daily by the Moksha-aspirant till time of dissolution, forsaking attachment = idea of ‘my-ness’ (mamatā), and forsaking fruits. This is My true and best opinion.

>> Chapter 18 Verse 7
