Renunciation and Karma Yoga

[Guest guest]

Ramesh Krishnamoorthy wrote: I did not mean that renunciation to leave everything and go to forest. LOL. No. The

renunciation I talked about is that of a pure Karma Yoga type. As that

of a true yogi. You be in the part of the game, yet be unattached.

Understand that this is all not going to last, but only God does, that

renunciation is what I meant. Apologies if my words gave a different

picture. I will vote for kicking anyone out if they dare to touch my

religion or my country(men). Regards,Ramesh-------------Hello Mr. Ramesh Krishnamoorthy: வணகà¯à®•à®®à¯.I see now that your words echo Bhagavadgita 5.2. Thanks for the explanation. HTML clipboard
