But, those who carp at My teaching and do not practice
it, consider them as ignorant of all knowledge, senseless, and lost. (3.32)
All beings follow their nature. Even the wise act
according to their own nature. What, then, is the value of sense restraint? (3.33)
Raaga and Dwesha (or the attachments and aversions)
for the sense objects remain in the senses. One should not come under the control of these two,
because they
are two stumbling blocks, indeed, on one's path of Self-realization. (3.34)
One's inferior natural work is better than superior
unnatural work. Death in carrying out one's natural work is useful. Unnatural work produces too much stress.
