Chapter-3
Karmayoga
29. Those deluded by the qualities of nature become attached to their functions. Let not the person who knows all, unsettle the minds of those who know little. He who comes under the spell of prakriti and becomes deluded by its qualities becomes tainted by the actions. When senses remain active under the pull of the qualities, he perforce thinks himself to be responsible for his actions (181-185). 30. Surrendering all actions to me with your thought on the Self and giving up desire and possessions fight free from mental fever. Therefore, perform your legitimate duties and dedicate them to me, all the time keeping your mind fixed on me. And you should not entertain the false pride that you are the agent of an action and will achieve a definite purpose. Give up attachment to the body, abandon all desires and then enjoy all sensuous pleasures as they come. Now take up the bow in hand, mount the chariot and resort to the heroic spirit with a calm mind. Establish your reputation, enhance the dignity of the warrior’s duty and relieve this world from its oppressive burden (186-190). Now, O Partha, discard all doubt, pay attention to the war, and talk about nothing else.
