Chapter 18 verse 49
“Those whose intellect is unattached everywhere, who have mastered the mind, and are free from desires by the practice of renunciation, attain the highest perfection of freedom from action.”
Reinforcing
what he has already stated in chapter 3 of karma yoga, Bhagawan calls out the
traits of men who are truly renunciates. These are human beings whose body,
mind, intellect and ego are unattached to anything, untouched by desires and
although they don’t advocate inaction, actions don’t affect them at all. The
best form of prayer to the Supreme could only be to grant the welfare of the
world and what he thinks is best for us as an individual or
family/society/country or world in general. Any other prayer would not be
inclusive and appears short sighted.
