Chapter-3 Karma Yogaḥ

karmaṇaiva hi saṃsiddhim āsthitā janakādayaḥ | loka saṅgraham-evāpi saṃpaśyan kartum arhasi || 20 || 20. Verily, by Karma Yoga alone did Janaka and others reach perfection. Indeed, you should act, bearing in mind the welfare of the world. Commentary Even royal sages like Janaka and others, who were the foremost among the enlightened ones, preferred Karma Yoga as the means for attaining perfection. Thus, having first declared that for an aspirant for liberation who is unsuited for Jñāna Yoga, Karma Yoga alone should be practiced, it was next convincingly taught that, even for one who is qualified for Jñāna Yoga, Karma Yoga is still the preferred means. Now it is going to be taught that Karma Yoga must be performed in every way by anyone who is virtuous. At least for the welfare of all beings (loka-saṅgraha), you should do work even if there is no need of it for yourself.
