RIGHT ACTION |

|
| Our
acts are all determined by the propensities of our nature. The
illusion of the ego makes the soul consider itself the doer.
III-27 But he who knows the truth about propensities and action, understanding that propensities express themselves, keeps his Soul unattached. III-28 Even the man of profound knowledge acts in conformity with his own congenital nature. All beings follow their own nature. Of what avail is suppression? III-33 Now comes a clinching argument against leaving the world to become a recluse. You cannot set for yourself the plan of renunciation and expect others to carry on the normal work of society while you stand out. Social life must go on; and what you do, others must be expected to copy. The ethic of the Gita is preeminently a social one. What was good for great Janaka, it says, is good enough for all. |
