Become not the cause of works\u2019 fruit, nor have interest in desisting from work.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n To thee who is fixt in satva<\/em>, to thee whose sole end is moksha, belongs but the mechanical part in the performance of nitya<\/em> (daily), naimittika<\/em> (casual), and k\u0101mya<\/em> (fruit-bearing) duties, to each of which is assigned some certain kind of recompense; but thou shalt not think of reaping any fruit therefor.<\/span><\/p>\n Desire for fruit, and enjoying fruit (fruition in one word), has a binding effect; without that idea, however, works performed as Worship paid to Me, become means to secure moksha. Hence have no motive for action, nor wish to reap its fruit.<\/span><\/p>\n Though thou art the actor, but because thou art rested in satva<\/em>, and aspire for moksha, thou mayst consider thyself as no actor or agent in the act.<\/span><\/p>\n The appeasing of hunger etc., are also desires satisfied, but thou may fancy thyself as not the cause of the appeasal etc.<\/span><\/p>\n Further on[2. Read verses 27<\/a> to 30<\/a>, Lecture III<\/a>.] it will be pointed out that both (the cause of gratification and agent of gratification) are due either to the qualities, or to be ascribed to Me, the Lord of all.<\/span><\/p>\n Reflecting thus, do work.<\/span><\/p>\n Inaction (a-karma<\/em>) implied in thy saying \u2018I am not going to fight\u2019 (Bh: Gi: II-9<\/a>); – have no interest in that even. This is to say: \u2018engage, thou oughtest to, in war and other acts.\u2019[3. Consider thyself as the mere instrument or channel or agent of some other responsible source and act un-concerned about result.]<\/span><\/p>\n The same is further elucidated:<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 2 verse 48<\/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 46 Simple karma\u1e47y ev\u0101dhik\u0101ras te m\u0101 phale\u1e63u kad\u0101cana m\u0101 karma-phala-hetur bh\u016br m\u0101 te sa\u1e45go \u2019stv akarma\u1e47i ‘But to work, hast thou the right, not to the fruits thereof.
