Chapter 5 verse 2
“The blessed Lord said: Renunciation of action and yoga
of action, both lead to the highest bliss; but of the two, yoga of action is
superior to the renunciation of action”
There is a journey in psyche of man to graduate from
ignorance to Self Knowledge. There are 3 steps- desire based actions, desire
less actions and finally meditative state where man is constantly in control of
their organs of action and perception. Here Krishna is saying that complete
renunciation of action for a select few called karma sanyasa yoga is fine and
is an equally right way to Self Knowledge. However for majority of the men in
the world, moving from ignorance to Self Knowledge is best done through action
but process of yoga of action- which is nothing but desire less action. As I
reflect on my own spiritual journey, right now it is moving slowly back and
forth between desire based actions and desire less actions while dabbling in
meditative states for a few micro moments. God’s grace and man’s efforts are so
necessary to ace this process. Let’s all keep at it. It is through divine grace
that we are on this path and there is no turning back- that’s the great news!
