Sanskrit Verse
Durena hy avaram karma buddhi-yogad dhananjaya buddhau sharanam anviccha kripanah phala-hetavah
Translation & Meaning
O Dhananjaya, keep all abominable activities far distant by means of devotional service, and in that consciousness surrender to the Lord. Those who want to enjoy the fruits of their work are misers. Fruitive action is far inferior to the yoga of wisdom. Seeking refuge in equanimous intelligence, one should act without attachment to results.
Key Teachings
- •Action with the desire for fruit is inferior to action done with wisdom
- •Seeking refuge in pure intelligence liberates one from miserly attachment
- •Wisdom-yoga transcends the bondage of reward-seeking action
