Dreading this, should one confine himself to the practice of meditation alone (j\u00f1an-\u0101bhy\u0101sa<\/em>) for achieving Yoga (=self-Cognition or God- cognition), refraining from doing the \u0101\u015brama<\/em>-proper duties, such as the Mah\u0101yaj\u00f1as etc., such abstention by him from Work is due to Rajas; and such abstention is contrary to the sense of the \u015a\u0101stras.<\/span><\/p>\n The benefit from abandonment<\/em>, or the acquisition of wisdom (\u2014which he supposes as arising from surceasal of works\u2014) never accrues to him.
