Chapter 3<\/a><\/p>\n << Chapter 3 verse 31<\/a><\/p>\n Simple<\/a><\/p>\n ye tv etad abhyas\u016byanto ‘But whoso, blaspheming, carry not out this, My edict, \u2014know them to be blind to all knowledge; and, bereft of understanding, (to be) lost.’<\/span><\/p>\n My edict<\/em> or truth is that to all \u0101tm\u0101-essence I am the Prop. It is to Me as My body, standing to Me in the relation of disposable property (\u015besha-bh\u016btam<\/em>) ; and it derives all its impulses from Me (explained in verse 30<\/a>, ante).<\/span><\/p>\n Whoso, then, do not contemplate and act conformably to this law or truth; whoso, otherwise, are not earnest; whoso, otherwise again, may take to cavilling, know them all to be utterly destitute of any knowledge. Therefore they are to be considered as deprived of understanding and lost[1. Lost means, incapable of rising to those heights of perfection which is in the power of souls. Also in verse 3.33.5<\/a>: Nashta\u1e25<\/em> is literally he who is lost. Ved\u0101nt\u0101ch\u0101rya explains that \u2018the loss\u2019 means that the man becomes incapacitated to work for higher spiritual objects (purush\u0101rth-\u0101yogyam<\/em>).].<\/span><\/p>\n Understanding or intelligence (cheta\u1e25<\/em>) is that which gives to one the true knowledge of things; in its absence their knowledge would be pervert or crooked (vipar\u012bta-j\u00f1\u0101na<\/em>), and uttermost ignorance then prevails.<\/span><\/p>\n Thus, it has been shown that \u2018actorship\u2019 arises from union with matter, from its (matter\u2019s) qualities (gu\u1e47as) being provoked by the contact; and that this is (ultimately) dependent on the Supreme Spirit.<\/span><\/p>\n Reflecting in this manner, Karma-Yoga<\/em> is meet, both for him who is competent for the Path of Karma-Yoga<\/em>, and for him who is competent for the Path of J\u00f1\u0101na-Yoga<\/em>. Karma-Yoga<\/em> is meet for both (it was explained), on account of its facility, exemption from dangers, and requiring no help of other methods for its prosecution, inasmuch as in it is involved a (required amount of the) knowledge of \u0101tm\u0101; whereas J\u00f1\u0101na-Yoga<\/em> is difficult to practise, susceptible of failures, and inasmuch as some karma<\/em>, \u2014such as that required to find the wherewithal to maintain bodily existence\u2014 is necessarily demanded (without which how is any one to perform any yoga at all?)<\/span><\/p>\n Also it was pointed out how necessary it was for a man of distinction to specially engage in karma<\/em> (as an example to the world).<\/span><\/p>\n What the difficulties and the dangers are in respect of J\u00f1\u0101na-Yoga<\/em>, are now explained in the remaining portion of this (third) Lecture:\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 3 verse 33<\/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 3 << Chapter 3 verse 31 Simple ye tv etad abhyas\u016byanto n\u0101nuti\u1e63\u1e6dhanti me matam sarva-j\u00f1\u0101na-vim\u016b\u1e0dh\u0101\u1e41s t\u0101n viddhi na\u1e63\u1e6d\u0101n acetasa\u1e25 ‘But whoso, blaspheming, carry not out this, My edict, \u2014know them to be blind to all knowledge; and, bereft of understanding, (to be) lost.’ My … 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":[13,24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1853","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chapter-3","category-original"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1853","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=1853"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1853\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1853"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1853"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1853"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
