Guest guest Report post Posted September 1, 1999 Sri: Sri Lakshminrisimha Parabrahmane Namaha Sri Ramanujaya Namaha Sri Nigamantha Mahadesikaya Namaha SRIMAD BHAGAVAD GITA - translation by Sri.V.N.Gopala Desikan Chapter III slOkA 32 Translation : But those who do not practice this teaching of Mine and are jealous of this teaching ; know them as ignorant of all knowledge , senseless and lost. Commentary : But 1. those people who are jealous of this karma yOgA (i.e who hate this) 2. those who do not have any faith in this , (so that they do not adopt this yOgA) and 3. those who do not perform all actions in accordance with My teaching above ; all such people are of perverted knowledge. They are unable to see proper reason and thus they get lost. Summing up , you should know that a person does actions because of the three gunAs - sattva, rajas and tamas.This action is dependent on the Supreme Lord. Realising this , a person should do karma yOgA. Even a person, who is qualified to do jnAna yOgA , should only practice karma yOgA , to set an example for others and to guide them properly. Karma yOgA is easy to practice. It is not likely to be interrupted. It includes knowledge of the soul also. JnAna yOgA is difficult to perform. Mistakes are likely to occur. Even then, action has to be undertaken for maintaining the body etc. adiyEn, senthil (Courtesy : Sri Visishtadvaita Research Centre) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
