Srimad Bhagavad Gita -Ramanujacharya
Chapter-4 Jñāna Vibhāga Yogaḥ
śrī-bhagavān uvāca Commentary“Don't imagine that I have just invented this teaching of Karma Yoga merely as a device for stirring up your enthusiasm for war. I Myself taught this Yoga to Vivasvān at the commencement of the present age of Manu as a means for all beings to attain the highest goal of existence which is Liberation from the cycle of births and deaths. The royal sages of old learned this Yoga which had been transmitted by tradition from one generation to the other. Because of the long lapse of time and because of the dullness of the intellect of those who heard it, it has almost been lost.” |
