Chapter 6<\/a><\/p>\n << <\/a>Chapter 5 verse 29<\/a><\/p>\n SrI bhagavAn uvAcha karma palam – the result of karma (actions) such as svarga (heaven) etc One who performs karma yOga exclusively with the intention of performing that practice, not holding on to the result of karma (actions) such as svarga (heaven) etc, remains a gyAna yOga nishta (practitioner<\/span>); he also remains a karma yOga nishta (practitioner); neither is he aloof from karmas (actions) such as yagya etc which invoke fire nor is he exclusive gyAna nishta (one who is focussed on pursuit of knowledge exclusively without adequate actions).<\/p>\n SR\u012a BHAGAV\u0100N Continued:-<\/span><\/p>\n ‘He is the sanny\u0101si<\/em>, he is the yogi<\/em>, who discharges work as duty, independent of its fruit; not he that is fire-less (na niragni\u1e25<\/em>), not he that is act-less (na-ch-\u0101kriya\u1e25<\/em>).’<\/span><\/p>\n Karma-yoga with all its constituents has so far been expounded. The rules for the practice of yoga or meditation to secure \u0101tma-vision, through J\u00f1\u0101na-yoga and Karma-yoga, will now be declared.<\/span><\/p>\n This verse is a short recapitulatory re-assertion of what has already been stated, viz., that (i) Karma-yoga is the immediate (or unaided) means (for \u0101tma-attainment); that (2) it has in it the wisdom-aspect; and that (3) Karma-yoga has for its aim yoga (meditation which precedes \u0101tma-vision).<\/span><\/p>\n Independently of the rewards of works, such as svarga etc., whosoever performs work as a duty, with no other idea than that it is worshipful service rendered to the Supreme Spirit, \u2014Who is in every way our Real Loving Friend,\u2014 he is the sanny\u0101si<\/em> or the J\u00f1\u0101na-yogi; and he is the true yogi<\/em> or Karma-yogi. Such a person may be considered as walking both the paths (of Karma and of J\u00f1\u0101na), leading to \u0101tma-realization.<\/span><\/p>\n So that the sanny\u0101si<\/em> or J\u00f1\u0101ni is not he that simply abstains from fire-duties[1. \u2018Agnihotra\u2019, etc., prescribed as karma.], or he who ceases to do any work, enjoined by the \u015a\u0101stras viz<\/em>., yaj\u00f1\u0101s (sacrifices) etc., but he who engages in work, answering at once both the requirements of act and knowledge.<\/span><\/p>\n The next verse undertakes to show that in the kind of Karma-yoga, just described, there is wisdom also:<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 6 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 6 << Chapter 5 verse 29 SlOkam \u2013 Original SrI bhagavAn uvAcha anASritha: karmapalam kAryam karma karOthi ya: | sa sanyAsI cha yOgI cha na niragnir na chAkriya: || word-by-word meaning karma palam – the result of karma (actions) such as svarga (heaven) etc … 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":[16,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2513","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chapter-6","category-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2513","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=2513"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2513\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2513"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2513"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2513"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}SlOkam \u2013 Original<\/a><\/h3>\n
