Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 4 verse 31


Chapter 4 verse 31

“The eaters of the nectar-remnant of the sacrifice-go to the eternal Brahman. Even this world is not for the non-performer of sacrifice; how then the other world”

Beyond the literal meaning of this verse, it is important to understand the concept of ‘Prasada buddhi- Attitude of acceptance of the fruit given of the action or sacrifice’. Lord talks about the importance of performing action in a state of total acceptance of any fruit of the action as being gifted by the divine for that action. However if deluded about renunciation of the action itself, the person doesn’t qualify to be in this world and is not worthy of any other world. This verse signifies the need to action and act without attachment to the fruit of the action.
