Become not the cause of works\u2019 fruit, nor have interest in desisting from work.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n To you who are fixed in satva<\/em>, to you whose sole end is moksha, belongs but the mechanical part in the performance of nitya<\/em> (daily), naimittika<\/em> (causal), and k\u0101mya<\/em> (fruit-bearing) duties, to each of which is assigned some certain kind of recompense; but you shall 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 you are the actor, but because you are rested in satva<\/em>, and aspire for moksha, you may consider yourself as no actor or agent in the act.<\/span><\/p>\n The appeasing of hunger etc., are also desires satisfied, but you may fancy yourself 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 your saying \u2018I am not going to fight\u2019 (Bh: Gi: II-9<\/a>); – have no interest in that even. This is to say: \u2018engage, as you ought to, in war and other acts.\u2019[3. Consider yourself 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 SlOkam \u2013 Original karmaNi EvAdhikAras thE mA phalEshu kadhAchana | mA karmaphalahEthur bhUr mA the sangO\u2019sthvakarmaNi || word-by-word meaning thE – for you who is a mumukshu karmaNi Eva – only for the true nithya (daily) naimiththika (periodic) … 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-1336","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\/1336","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=1336"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1336\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1336"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1336"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1336"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}SlOkam \u2013 Original<\/a><\/h3>\n
