This intelligence In context of AthmA that is to be known was instructed to you. Now, hear about the intelligence (which is to be explained subsequently) in the matter of budhdhi yOga (intellectual pursuit) which is applied for karma (actions); [listen to ] that intelligence (which is to be explained subsequently) with which you can relinquish bondage in this material realm caused by karma.<\/p>\n \u2018This knowledge in s\u0101\u1e45khya<\/em>[2. S\u0101\u1e45khya<\/em> is literally a numeral, and therefore counting. The S\u0101\u1e45khya system counts the 24 material<\/em> categories, and declares \u0101tm\u0101<\/em> the 25th spiritual<\/em> category. The term therefore means ‘the counting forth of spirit as distinct from matter,’ as explained by Vij\u00f1\u0101na Bhikshu in his commentaries on S\u0101\u1e45khya S\u016btras. The same interpretation is given by \u015aankara in his commentaries on Bhagavad-g\u012bta and on Vishnu-Sahasran\u0101ma-bh\u0101shya.] has been told you; as for that of yoga<\/em>[3. Wisdom or Knowledge-Yoga is the method of works without seeking reward<\/em> briefly named Yoga<\/em>.], hear it, united with which you shall cast off karma<\/em>-bondage.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n 1. S\u0101\u1e45khya<\/em> is the understanding; and s\u0101\u1e45khyam<\/em> is the \u0101tm\u0101<\/em>-category which is apprehensible by the understanding or one\u2019s rational faculty. The \u0101tm\u0101<\/em>-principle having to be understood, that understanding has been given you by which to know it, viz., beginning from:<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018Never at all was that I etc.\u2019 (Bh: Gi: II-12<\/a>) and ending with:<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018Therefore have thou no cause to grieve for any creature.\u2019 (Bh: Gi: II-30<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n 2. By the term yoga<\/em> is meant that understanding or wisdom one has to acquire with regard to practising of works (karm-\u0101nushth\u0101na<\/em>), which, founded on \u0101tm\u0101<\/em>-knowledge (s\u0101\u1e45khyam<\/em>), is the path to emancipation. This understanding is what is declared in:-\u2019(Fruit-seeking) karma is far inferior to wisdom-yoga[4. Wisdom or Knowledge-Yoga is the method of works without seeking reward<\/em> briefly named Yoga<\/em>.].\u2019 (Bh: Gi: ii-49<\/a>). Listen then to the wisdom that is contained in this yoga, which will be explained to you. United to that wisdom, you will cut asunder all karma-bonds (or knots of action).<\/span><\/p>\n The virtue of work done with this wisdom is now shown:<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 2 verse 40<\/a><\/p>\n archived in https:\/\/githa.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n pramEyam (goal) \u2013 http:\/\/koyil.org<\/a> SrI:\u00a0 SrImathE SatakOpAya nama:\u00a0 SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama:\u00a0 SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Chapter 2 << Chapter 2 verse 38 SlOkam \u2013 Original EshA thE\u2019bhihithA sAnkhyE budhdhir yOgE thvimAm SrNu | budhdhyA yukthO yayA pArtha karma bandham prahAsyasi || word-by-word meaning pArtha! – Oh pArtha! sAnkhyE – In context of AthmA that is to be known EshA budhdhi: … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1224","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chapter-2","category-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1224","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1224"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1224\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1224"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1224"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1224"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}SlOkam \u2013 Original<\/a><\/h3>\n
