Chapter 4 verse 15
“Having known this, the ancient seekers after freedom,
also performed action; therefore, you too, perform action, as did the ancients
in the olden times”
Krishna points out that the concept of renunciation in
action not of action is a technique followed by realized seekers even in the
past. Even if you are completely detached from all the worldly objects and
happenings, it is important to do one’s duty ordained to each of us. There are
multiple examples of this including Sri Ramana Maharishi in recent times.
Through this verse, Krishna clarifies to Arjuna and all of us that he is not
talking about something he just made up but the eternal wisdom of all times
which was getting lost even in his times. We are now 5000 years past Krishna’s
times. Don’t we think we badly need this knowledge now?
