Therefore devote yourself to this yoga. Yoga is skill in works. LESSONS FROM BHAGAVAD GITA – 5 As taught by Parama Pujya Sri Swamiji “The man of equanimity born of wisdom frees himself in this life, alike from vice and virtue (merits and demerits of works). Therefore devote yourself to this yoga. Yoga is skill in works” (Chapter 2, Verse 50). The results of man’s actions, whether good or bad, bind him only when he is attached to them. But the Karma Yogi is not affected by good or bad results of his actions as he has surrendered them completely to God. Thus he releases himself from the bondage of Karma. Thus an action that would produce bondage, the Karma Yogi performs in such a way that it would not create a bondage, but take him towards Godhood. This skill in transforming bondage-creating actions into bondage-freeing actions is called Yoga.
