The ways of virtue.] or prescribed duty (by \u015a\u0101stra) viz<\/em>., karma-yoga<\/em>, is the best, albeit it be destitute of great virtues in it. Such duty (dharma<\/em>) is easy to discharge, and unattended with risk. Whereas, to the man who is wedded to matter, j\u00f1\u0101na-yoga<\/em>, \u2014though assuredly it is most excellent\u2014 is most difficult of achievement. J\u00f1\u0101na-yoga<\/em> is besides surrounded by danger, though the Path indeed is shorter than karma-yoga<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n Karma-yoga<\/em> comes to a man easily and most naturally befitting him. Death, he may encounter, before, by this method, he is able, in one life, to achieve his purpose; but his progress does not get barred by any obstacles. In his next birth, the thread of previously accomplished progress is easily picked up and continued.[6. Cp. II-40<\/a> and VI-40<\/a>.]<\/span><\/p>\n Whereas to one who is allied (or tied) to matter, the attempt to tread the Path of j\u00f1\u0101na<\/em> is surrounded by dangers, which beset its Path, and which deter one from adopting that scheme readily. J\u00f1\u0101na-yoga<\/em> is thus difficult.<\/span><\/p>\n Arjuna (now) asks :\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 3 verse 36<\/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 34 Simple \u015brey\u0101n sva-dharmo vigu\u1e47a\u1e25 para-dharm\u0101t sv-anu\u1e63\u1e6dhit\u0101t sva-dharme nidhana\u1e41 \u015breya\u1e25 para-dharmo bhay\u0101vaha\u1e25 ‘Though wanting in merit, better is one\u2019s own Dharma[1.
