All from Brahm\u0101 down to the plant, there is not one creature which is free from these three qualities (gu\u1e47as), begotten of matter.<\/span><\/p>\n Thus, Ty\u0101ga \u2014Renunciation\u2014 referred to in the \u015aruti:<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018By Ty\u0101ga they obtain Immortality\u2019[1. ], as the Means to Moksha, does not differ from what the term Sanny\u0101sa signifies. Both mean Renunciation in the sense that works ought to be performed, but all idea of agentship therein (personality) should be sacrificed. Sacrifice (1) of fruit for work done (2) of the idea of arrogation of work to self, and (3) of one\u2019s own authorship of work, are to be realized by the reflection which sacrifices to, or ascribes to, Paramapurusha alone, all Authorship. This reflection is evoked under the dominating influence of Satva-gu\u1e47a alone. In order to apprise one that this Gu\u1e47a is worthy of culture, the effects of the other Gu\u1e47as, Rajas and Tamas have also had to be dwelt upon.<\/span><\/p>\n And now, that complexion of work \u2014as the Gu\u1e47as modify, so as to fit itself to the several spheres of life in which the natures and occupations of Br\u0101hma\u1e47as etc., find expression\u2014 will be illustrated, in order to show that all work performed as means to Moksha is of the nature of worship to Paramapurusha, and to show that when work is performed in this view the fruition thereof becomes Himself the Goal:<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 18 Verse 41<\/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 39 SlOkam \u2013 Original na thath asthi pruthivyAm vA dhivi dhEvEshu vA puna: | sathvam prakruthijair muktham yadhEbhi: syAth thribhir guNai: || word-by-word meaning pruthivyAm vA – among humans in this earth dhivi dhEvEshu vA puna: – among celestials … 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":[11,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6955","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chapter-18","category-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6955","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=6955"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6955\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16637,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6955\/revisions\/16637"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6955"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6955"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6955"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}SlOkam \u2013 Original<\/a><\/h3>\n
