Yoga is Karma-Yoga<\/em>, the prosecution of works. Once, You do extol the former, once the latter! Here is a summary of Your teachings:\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n In Lecture Two, You did declare that Karma-Yoga was worthy to be followed by the moksha-aspirant, and that as soon as the inner organ (anta\u1e25kara\u1e47a<\/em>=mind) became purified of taints, it was then time to embark on J\u00f1\u0101na-Yoga, which would bring about \u0101tma-vision (i.e., soul-consciousness).<\/span><\/p>\n But in Lectures Three and Four, You did maintain that Karma-Yoga was preferable even in the case of him who is qualified for J\u00f1\u0101na-Yoga; that Karma-Yoga was alone sufficient, \u2014without the aid of J\u00f1\u0101na-Yoga \u2014as a Means to \u0101tma-attainment.<\/span><\/p>\n As between these two then, viz<\/em>: Karma-Yoga and J\u00f1\u0101na-Yoga, will you tell me truly, which of them is the superior, the ready, the easy, means to attain to \u0101tma?<\/span><\/p>\n \u015ar\u012b Bhagav\u0101n responds thus:\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 5 verse 2<\/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 5 << Chapter 5 Introduction SlOkam \u2013 Original arjuna uvAcha sanyAsam karmaNAm krishNa punar yOgam cha Samsasi | yach chrEya EthayOr Ekam than mE brUhi suniSchitham || word-by-word meaning arjuna uvAcha- arjuna said krishNa – Oh krishNa! karmaNAm sanyAsam – Performing gyAna yOga giving … 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":[15,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2334","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chapter-5","category-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2334","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=2334"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2334\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12301,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2334\/revisions\/12301"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2334"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2334"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2334"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}SlOkam \u2013 Original<\/a><\/h3>\n
