Work-discipline (Karma-nish\u1e6dh\u0101)=bodily activities) lead to the Knowledge-Path. The Knowledge-Path, it was shown, is to be acquired by abstracting all the senses and the mind from their objects: sound etc. If then it holds that \u0101tm\u0101-vision is to be effected (immediately) by the sense-and-mind discipline above alluded to, then I ought to be instructed how to practice this Intellectual Mode (or Knowledge-Path), by abstaining entirely from all active work. But instead, why dost Thou command me to engage in all kinds of violent and such-like acts requiring the use of all the faculties of sense and mind?\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018Hence, I fancy, as if Thou art imposing upon me with Thy duplicate language!\u2019 The language is verily equivocal inasmuch as the intellectual Path to achieve \u0101tm\u0101-vision consists in the annulment of all the sense-and-mind faculties, whereas Thy speech ordains me to embark them on actual work. Hence tell me a single (i.e., consistent) unequivocal word, by which I may know from certainty the exact course to pursue, and achieve (thereby) the highest good.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Lord said:-<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/3-3-original\/\">&gt;&gt; Chapter 3 verse 3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>archived in <a href=\"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\">https:\/\/githa.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>pramEyam (goal) \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/koyil.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">http:\/\/koyil.org<\/a><br \/>\npramANam (scriptures) \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/granthams.koyil.org\">http:\/\/granthams.koyil.org<\/a><br \/>\npramAthA (preceptors) \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\">http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org<\/a><br \/>\nSrIvaishNava education\/kids portal \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/pillai.koyil.org\/\">http:\/\/pillai.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SrI:\u00a0 SrImathE SatakOpAya nama:\u00a0 SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama:\u00a0 SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Chapter 3 &lt;&lt; Chapter 3 verse 1 Simple vy\u0101mi\u015bre\u1e47eva v\u0101kyena buddhi\u1e41 mohayas\u012bva me tad eka\u1e41 vada ni\u015bcitya yena \u015breyo \u2019ham \u0101pnuy\u0101m &#8216;It seems as if thou confusest my understanding by thy ambiguous speech?
