Chapter 5<\/a><\/p>\n << Chapter 5 verse 8 and 9<\/a><\/p>\n brahmaNyAdhAya karmANi sangam thyakthvA karOthi ya: |<\/em> ya: – the one The one who performs the actions, ascribing such actions to the senses which are an effect of the great prakruthi, giving up attachment to the results, will remain untouched by sins like lotus leaf remaining unwetted by water.<\/p>\n ‘Whoso performs acts, ascribing them to matter (brahma<\/em>), and abandoning all attachment, is not touched by sin, like unto the lotus-leaf unwetted by water.’<\/span><\/p>\n The term brahma<\/em> here signifies prak\u1e5biti<\/em> (matter). That such application of the term obtains, is exemplified by such passages as:\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018The great brahma<\/em> (matter) is my womb (seat)\u2019 (xiv-3<\/a>). Whoso performs work, reflecting that all activities such as hearing, seeing etc., pertain to matter, and matter\u2019s modifications into the organized forms of senses; and whoso therefore, performs work imputing it to brahma<\/em> (matter), and, renouncing all attachment, thinks \u2018naught do I<\/em> do,\u2019 he remains uncontaminated with the sin that arises from the misconception of taking matter for \u0101tma, \u2014that causes bondage.<\/span><\/p>\n The analogy to this idea is that of the lotus-leaf and water. Though they are in contact with each other, water remains intact with reference to the leaf.<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 5 verse 11<\/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 verse 8 and 9 SlOkam \u2013 Original brahmaNyAdhAya karmANi sangam thyakthvA karOthi ya: | lipyathE na sa pApEna padhmapathram ivAmbhasA || word-by-word meaning ya: – the one brahmaNi – the senses which are an effect of the great prakruthi (matter) … 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-2380","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\/2380","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=2380"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2380\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2380"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2380"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2380"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}SlOkam \u2013 Original<\/a><\/h3>\n
