Chapter 18<\/a><\/p>\n << Chapter 18 Verse 11<\/a><\/p>\n Simple<\/a><\/p>\n ani\u1e63\u1e6dam i\u1e63\u1e6da\u1e41 mi\u015bra\u1e41 ca ‘Threefold is the fruit of work: good, evil, and mixed, which befals, after death, to the non-renouncers, but never to the renouncers.’<\/span><\/p>\n Evil<\/em> (or undesirable) fruit is hades[1. The Infernum<\/em>: Places where sins have to be atoned for by suffering.] (naraka<\/em>) etc. Good<\/em> (or desirable) fruit is heaven (svarga<\/em>) etc. Mixed<\/em> is that which is related to evil, such as sons, cattle, food etc. These fruits befal to him only, after death, who does not renounce<\/em> (=a-ty\u0101gi<\/em>) viz.<\/em>, the three kinds of renouncement, (1) of fruit, (2) of attachment, and (3) of authorship (or agentship).<\/span><\/p>\n Pretya<\/em> = (Lit): After death<\/em>. It means, subsequent to the performance of an act:[2. R\u0101m\u0101nuja comments thus on the word \u2018pretya\u2019 keeping in view that there are some fruits like getting a son etc., which a man reaps, as a result of his work, before death<\/em>.]<\/span><\/p>\n Never do such fruits, evil etc., inimical to Moksha, fall to the lot of renouncers<\/em> (=sanny\u0101sin\u0101m<\/em>) of authorship etc.<\/span><\/p>\n The gist is this:\u2014 No doubt, Agnihotra etc., are nitya<\/em>-acts; i.e.,<\/em> obligatory acts for one, by the fact of his birth (in a certain var\u1e47a<\/em>, in a certain society, nation, country etc)., and for one who has in view the achieving of fruits therefor (k\u0101mya<\/em>). How the same one act (i.e., Agnihotra etc)., finds a different application in each case (in the case of fruit-seeker, giving fruit<\/em>, and in the case of Moksha-seeker, not giving fruit<\/em>) finds justification by the canons of \u2018Variety of Application\u2019.[3. This is called the \u2018viniyoga-p\u1e5bithaktva-ny\u0101ya<\/em>\u2019 (vide: P\u016brva M\u012bm\u0101msa; Su: IV-3-3.5-And \u015ar\u012b Bhashya<\/em> (Telugu: Edn: p: 724).] Its application or employment in the case of Moksha, is seen in such Texts as:<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018By study of the Vedas, by Yaj\u00f1as, by D\u0101nas, by Tapas, observance of fasts, do the Br\u0101hma\u1e47as try to know Him.\u2019[4. B\u1e5b: Up\u00b0: VI-4-22, etc., this imploying, as Ved\u0101nt\u0101charya explains that works lead to contemplation and by contemplation, God is known, so that works indirectly help to God being known. Hence works are necessary.]<\/span><\/p>\n Hence sanny\u0101sa<\/em> that the \u015a\u0101stras proclaim is no other than ty\u0101ga<\/em>, both meaning renunciation<\/em> of agentship etc., while acts are being necessarily performed. Renunciation doth not therefore mean the total abandonment of acts themselves (in other words entire cessation from work).[5. The argument started by the Lord in Stanza 2 ante<\/em>,- is thus closed by his verdict that Ty\u0101ga and Sanny\u0101sa are identical.]<\/span><\/p>\n Now, the manner how one may disown for himself authorship of his acts by assigning authorship to Bhagav\u0101n, Purushottama, the Inner Guide, is pointed out. From this kind of reflection, it is a necessary corollary that all self-ness (or personality=mamat\u0101<\/em>), as regards a work having been performed by him or as regards fruit thereof, is completely resigned. For the case would stand to him thus: \u2018Verily it is Parama-purusha, that is the Motor of all acts, \u2014which He performs by His own (instrument) j\u012bv\u0101tma (soul), by His own (sub-instrument of) body and members of it and the Pr\u0101\u1e47as (therein), \u2014to subserve His own Purposes of Pleasure.[6. Pleasure etc., (l\u012bl\u0101di<\/em> is a lect: vari:<\/em>) Then the Purpose is Pleasure as well as the salvation of creatures; says Ved\u0101nt\u0101ch\u0101rya (vide T\u0101t: Chand<\/em>).] Hence even the gratification, such as getting one\u2019s appetite appeased, and all work which such nature\u2019s demands necessitates, all belong to Him (not me).\u2019[7. This is \u2018directing the Intention to God alone.\u2019 P: 244: Thomas \u0101 Kempis\u2019s Imitation of Christ<\/em>.]<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 18 Verse 13<\/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 18 << Chapter 18 Verse 11 Simple ani\u1e63\u1e6dam i\u1e63\u1e6da\u1e41 mi\u015bra\u1e41 ca tri-vidha\u1e41 karma\u1e47a\u1e25 phalam bhavaty aty\u0101gin\u0101\u1e41 pretya na tu sanny\u0101sin\u0101\u1e41 kvacit ‘Threefold is the fruit of work: good, evil, and mixed, which befals, after death, to the non-renouncers, but never to the renouncers.’ Evil … 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":[11,24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6715","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chapter-18","category-original"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6715","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=6715"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6715\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6715"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6715"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6715"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
