Swami Sarvapriyananda teaches Verses 4-6 from the third chapter of the Bhagavad Gita. This series of talks unfolds the highest truths of Vedanta through the study of "The song of God".
🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 3, Verse 4:
न कर्मणामनारम्भान्नैष्कर्म्यं पुरुषोऽश्नुते |
न च संन्यसनादेव सिद्धिं समधिगच्छति || 4||
na karmaṇām anārambhān naiṣhkarmyaṁ puruṣho ’śhnute
na cha sannyasanād eva siddhiṁ samadhigachchhati
🔴 Man does not achieve freedom from works by abstention from them. None attains perfection through the mere renunciation of works, either.
🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 3, Verse 5:
न हि कश्चित्क्षणमपि जातु तिष्ठत्यकर्मकृत् |
कार्यते ह्यवश: कर्म सर्व: प्रकृतिजैर्गुणै: || 5||
na hi kaśhchit kṣhaṇam api jātu tiṣhṭhatyakarma-kṛit
kāryate hyavaśhaḥ karma sarvaḥ prakṛiti-jair guṇaiḥ
🔴 None indeed, even for a moment, remains without doing work. All, being dependent, are made to work by the constituents of Prakrti.
🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 3, Verse 6:
कर्मेन्द्रियाणि संयम्य य आस्ते मनसा स्मरन् |
इन्द्रियार्थान्विमूढात्मा मिथ्याचार: स उच्यते || 6||
karmendriyāṇi sanyamya ya āste manasā smaran
indriyārthān vimūḍhātmā mithyāchāraḥ sa uchyate
🔴 Controlling the organs of action, he who lets his mind dwell on their objects has a confounded mind; he is said to be a hypocrite.
