Chapter 3<\/a><\/p>\n << Chapter 3 verse 3<\/a><\/p>\n na karmaNAm anArambhAn naishkarmyam purushO\u2019SnuthE |<\/em> purusha: – any man (who lives in this world) Any man (who lives in this world) will not attain gyAna yOga due to not starting to engage in karma yOga; nor will he attain gyAna yOga which is the result (of karma yOga) by giving up (the karma yOga which was started). (It is implied that for one whose mind is disturbed, only after executing karma yOga which is a type of worship of supreme lord will his mental disturbances\u00a0 be eliminated and that he will be situated in proper knowledge).<\/p>\n ‘None can attain the actionless (naishkarmya<\/em>) state by cessation from action; not by cessation merely does he attain perfection.’<\/span><\/p>\n Neither by not performing the \u015a\u0101stra-ordained works, nor by abandoning them after once begun, does one attain to the actionless state, i.e., the state of j\u00f1\u0101na<\/em> (naishkarmya<\/em>=j\u00f1\u0101na<\/em>), in as much as action (karma<\/em>) alone, when interpreted as the mode of worshipping the Supreme Spirit (Parama-Purusha<\/em>), and performed with no expectation of reward, brings perfection, and without this course j\u00f1\u0101na<\/em>-fitness is not attainable.<\/span><\/p>\n Thus \u0101tma-nish\u1e6dh\u0101<\/em> (or the bestowal of exclusive attention to the concerns of atma<\/em>-the psychological training) -which is practicable only after the annulment of all sense-distractions- is impracticable by those who are deep in the untold sins of the long past, and who have not worshipped Govinda [1.
