Karma-yoga<\/em> is thus by nature one’s own Dharma<\/em>[1. Per M.R.Sampatkumaran Gitabhashya 1969: Tatparya Chandrika: ‘Svadharma<\/em>‘ here cannot refer to the duties of caste and stages of life; praise of these is redundant. Nor is it relevant to take it to mean the duties prescribed in the Vedas<\/em>, as contrasted with those of other religions. Nor can it refer to Arjuna’s duty of war, as contrasted with his desire to adopt the life of a mendicant ascetic. This has been dealt with already. Thus it can refer only to karma-yoga<\/em> as contrasted with j\u00f1\u0101na-yoga<\/em>.] albeit it be destitute of merit [i.e., defective in performance<\/em>[2. Per M.R.Sampatkumaran Gitabhashya 1969]]. By another’s Dharma<\/em> is meant Jn\u0101na-Yoga<\/em> demanding the ability on his part to conquer the senses, and it is a Yoga which presupposes the conquest of all the senses. This Yoga being, besides, subject to dangers, Karma-Yoga<\/em> is better, even though the former be performed excellently well on occasions.<\/span><\/p>\n Moreover it is shown :<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 18 Verse 47<\/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 46 Simple \u015brey\u0101n sva-dharmo vigu\u1e47a\u1e25 para-dharm\u0101t sv-anu\u1e63\u1e6dhit\u0101t ‘Better one\u2019s own Dharma, (though) void of merit, than doing another\u2019s Dharma even though it be done excellently well.’ One’s own Dharma is, as pointed out already, the sum of acts constituting … 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-6999","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\/6999","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=6999"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6999\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6999"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6999"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6999"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
