Chapter 5 verse 1
“Arjuna says- O Krishna! You praise renunciation of
action and again yoga-performance of action. Tell me conclusively that which is
better of the two”
In chapter 3, Krishna stresses on the need to perform
action and enumerates how action is more important than not performing action.
He does qualify the attitude with which one should perform these actions both
in chapter 3 and 4. This attitude is of renunciation of result of the action to
the divine. No wonder, Arjuna has developed a doubt in his mind about the
subtle difference between the two. In our Santana dharma, the path to Knowledge
is always obtained by contemplative inquiry, sincerity of the seeker and their
devotion to the supreme Knowledge. The Guru always shows exemplary patience
when they see this seeking in the other person and helps eliminate all doubts.
