Chapter 14<\/a><\/p>\n << Chapter 14 verse 15<\/a><\/p>\n karmaNa: sukruthasyAhu: sAthvikam nirmalam palam |<\/em> sukruthasya karmaNa: – deeds which are done without attachment to the results (by one born in the clan of knowledeable) The result of sathva guNam is said [by those who know the greatness of sathva guNam] to be free from trace of sorrow in the deeds which are done without attachment to the results (by those who are born in the clan of knowledgeable). The result of rajO guNam(prevailing at the time of death) is said [by those who know the nature of rajO guNam] to be that it leads to continuous suffering in samsAram (material realm). The result of thamO guNam(prevailing at the time of death) is said [by those who know the nature of thamO guNam] to be that it leads to further ignorance only.<\/p>\n ‘The fruit of good works, they (the wise) say, is S\u0101tvika-purity; but pain is the fruit of Rajas, and unwisdom the fruit of Tamas.’<\/span><\/p>\n Thus, one who dies when Satvam is predominant, is born amid the \u0101tma-enlightened (=sages). He performs virtuous acts with no motives for fruit, but such as are solely intended to be for My worship. The fruit for such work would be the gaining of more of Satvam. Purity means painlessness. So say those who are in a position to judge of such matters.<\/span><\/p>\n The result of Rajas reigning at the time of death is birth among those who, desirous of fruit, are tied down to works; who actually engage in works with such intent; birth again for enjoying the fruits of such works; and then again embarking on such fructiferous works as tend to develope more and more of Rajas; thus a perpetuation of the sorrows of Sams\u0101ra. So say the connoisseurs of the ways of the Rajas-quality.<\/span><\/p>\n Similarly, the fruit of Tamas is unwisdom or ignorance, i.e., a perpetuation thereof.<\/span><\/p>\n What that pure (or happy) fruits born of Satva etc., are now stated:\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 14 verse 17<\/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 14 << Chapter 14 verse 15 SlOkam \u2013 Original karmaNa: sukruthasyAhu: sAthvikam nirmalam palam | rajasas thu palam dhu:kham agyAnam thamasa: palam || word-by-word meaning sukruthasya karmaNa: – deeds which are done without attachment to the results (by one born in the clan of … 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":[7,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5970","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chapter-14","category-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5970","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=5970"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5970\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15715,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5970\/revisions\/15715"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5970"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5970"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5970"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}SlOkam \u2013 Original<\/a><\/h3>\n
