Janaka and others attained nirvana (or Self-Realization) by
Karma-yoga alone. You should also perform your duty with a view to
help the society and set an example for others. The universal
welfare or working for a noble cause (as a hobby) is the true
service to God. (3.20)
The wise one should not disturb the mind of the ignorant persons who work with selfish motives to enjoy the fruits of work. The wise should inspire them by setting example of working for the benefit of the whole society and not just for one's own family. (3.26) All works are being really done by the power and energy of God in accordance with His laws, but, due to ignorance of spiritual knowledge we think that we are the doer. (We are just an instrument in the hands of the divine power) (3.27) Do your duty and dedicate all works to God with a spiritual frame of mind; and become free from desire, ego, and mental grief. (3.30) Likes and dislikes for material objects and sensual pleasures remain in our senses. Let no one come under the grip of likes and dislikes, because, they are two great stumbling blocks on the path of God-realization. (Likes and dislikes are destroyed when one discovers the worthlessness of material pleasures, and develops detachment for it after the onset of Jnaana). (3.34) |
