Oh son of kunthI! karma yOga which is naturally fitting [for the nature of individuals], even with blemishes, cannot be given up; because, all actions such as karma yOga, gyAna yOga etc are surrounded by blemishes just like fire is surrounded by smoke.<\/p>\n ‘Let natural duty, Kaunteya!, though faulty, be not forsaken. Verily all endeavours are in faults swathed, like fire in smoke.’<\/span><\/p>\n Hence as act comes natural, easy of execution, and is beset with no dangers, let it be done though it be faulty and painful. The import is: \u2018Let even he who is competent for J\u00f1\u0101na-Yoga, follow the Path of Karma-Yoga. Endeavours<\/em>, be they of Karma-Yoga or of J\u00f1\u0101na-Yoga, are all indeed surrounded with faults and pain. The difference however consists in that Karma-Yoga is easy and not beset with dangers, and J\u00f1\u0101na-Yoga is the reverse (in these respects).<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 18 Verse 49<\/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 47 SlOkam \u2013 Original sahajam karma kaunthEya sadhOsham api na thyajEth | sarvArambhA hi dOshENa dhUmenAgnir ivAvruthA: || word-by-word meaning kaunthEya – Oh son of kunthI! sahajam karma – karma yOga which is naturally fitting [for the nature 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":[11,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7011","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\/7011","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=7011"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7011\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16867,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7011\/revisions\/16867"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7011"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7011"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7011"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}SlOkam \u2013 Original<\/a><\/h3>\n
