Is there any method by which the duty may be free from blemish? Yes, the method is Sankhyayoga (The Discipline of Knowledge). Whose intellect is unattached everywhere, who has subdued his self and whose thirst for enjoyment has completely disappeared; such a person through Sankhyayoga reaches the highest perfection of actionlessness i.e., his actions turn into inaction and he becomes totally free from blemish.(49) What is the order to attain the highest perfection of actionlessness? Know from Me briefly the order how reaching such perfection in the shape of purity of heart one attains Brahma, the Absolute, who is the supreme consummation of knowledge. The person endowed with pure reason, restraining the self with firmness, renouncing the objects of senses, abandoning attractions and aversion, dwelling in a sacred and lonely place, eating light food; subduing speech, body and mind; always in meditation; endowed with dispassion; having abandoned egoism, violence, arrogance, desire, anger, greed; destitute of the feeling of mineness; and being calm becomes qualified to attain Brahma (the Eternal).(50—53) |
