Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 5 verse 5


Chapter 5 verse 5

“That place which is reached by Saankyans/Jnanis (Knowledgeable) is also reached by karma-yogis (action oriented person). He ‘sees’ who ‘sees’ saankhya and yoga as one”

When one reaches the state of eternal immutable Self existence, they realize that all actions are getting done and nothing is accomplished by the body-mind-intellect complex. This state is Knowledge of the immutable Self. The person who does their action thinking they are not the doer and doesn’t expect fruits of the action is also in the same state of Self understanding. For this person, the body-mind-intellect complex doesn’t get in the way through egotistic desires. They have crossed the river of ego and got to the other side of eternal bliss. The Lord says there is no difference between how you get across the river as long as you are there. If you got there, that means you figured out a way!
