Comments on: Always with the Lord – Dhyana Yoga 31 http://www.gitaaonline.com/dhyana31/ Every person should read at least a bit of the Gita everyday Tue, 24 Jan 2012 10:51:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Dumane http://www.gitaaonline.com/dhyana31/comment-page-1/#comment-6893 Dumane Sun, 21 Jun 2009 09:24:11 +0000 http://www.gitaaonline.com/?p=2732#comment-6893 I liked the explanations given by various examples as to how an authorized person is exempt from the consequences of an action while an unauthorized person is punished for a similar aciton. In both these cases the actions are the same but the intention or motive with which the actions are performed are completely opposite. Thus, it is to be understaood that action per say does not matter but the knowledge behind the action is what matters . Ultimately everything ends in the knowledge. It would be relevant to refer to the Bhagvadgeeta Chapter 4 verse 38 which is quite famous and says " nahi Jnanena sadrushyam pavitramih vidyate, tat swayam yogasansiddhah kalenatmani vindati" The meaning is : "on earth, there is no purifier as great as Knowledge; he who has attained purity of heart through prolonged practice of Karmayoga, automatically sees the light of Truth in the self in course of time" Thus, the Yogi whose all actions are performed in a purified state of mind does not get attached to any consequences of the actions he performs.
