𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘵𝘦𝘳 5: 𝘒𝘢𝘳𝘮 𝘚𝘢𝘯𝘺ā𝘴 𝘠𝘰𝘨

In this chapter, Shree Krishna compares two paths: the path of renunciation of actions (karm sanyās yog) and the path of work in devotion (karm yog).

❀ He explains that both paths lead to the same destination, but renunciation is challenging and suited for those with pure minds.

❀ Karm yogis, with purified minds, perform their duties without attachment to the results. They offer their actions to God and remain untouched by sin, much like a lotus leaf on water. They understand the soul resides in the body. Thus, they don't see themselves as the doers or enjoyers of actions. They view all beings with equality, whether a Brahmin, a cow, an elephant, a dog. Their vision reflects godly qualities, and they find bliss within, not from external pleasures.

❀ Shri Krishna also explains the path of renunciation (karm sanyās yog). Those on this path control their mind, intellect, and senses through austerities. By detaching from external pleasures and dedicating themselves to God in their practices, they attain lasting peace, free from fear, desire, and anger.

In this chapter, Arjuna seeks clarification from Sri Krishna regarding the concepts of Karm Sanyās (renunciation of action) and Karm Yog (the yoga of action). In response, Sri Krishna explains that those who practice Karm Yog have a purified intellect and do not harbor desires or hatred toward anything.
