In Indian terms, Purusha consorting with Prakriti (or spirit-matter combination).]\u2014bondage.<\/span><\/p>\n Where is the utility of performing a work, as bounden duty (kartavya-karma<\/em>)? The utility or satisfaction consists in the wisdom discerning why the duty is to be discharged[3. This is the wisdom-based duty. The knower is he who does work for moksha<\/em>; the ignorant is he who does it with selfish motives. Moksha<\/em> is unselfish, all other fruits are selfish. The former is by its nature exempt from personality, the latter tends to more and more indurate personality (egoism).]. This is the wisdom-based duty. The knower is he who works for moksha; the ignorant is he who works with selfish motives. The former kind of work is, by its nature, exempt from personality, the latter tends to more and more indurate personality [egoism].<\/span><\/p>\n Why is it so difficult to understand?
