Chapter 2 verse 51
“The wise, possessed of knowledge, having abandoned the
fruits of their actions and freed from the fetters of birth, go to the state
which is beyond all evil.”
Possessing the knowledge of the Self and acting with
evenness of mind in Yoga leads one to act without expecting a particular result
and is not enamored or clamoring for results. When this state of mind and existence
is attained, whatever action we do is done with no attachment and hence there
are no consequences different from laws of karma and nature. No additional tendencies
called otherwise as Vasanas accumulate due to these desire less actions. This
is the essence of Karma yoga but summarized here in this Sloka. I believe
Krishna will cover this topic again in chapter 3. I am not reading ahead but
going from memory of the past! Not a good thing is it?
