Srimad Bhagavad Gita -Ramanujacharya
Chapter-4 Jñāna Vibhāga Yogaḥ
dravya yajñās-tapo yajñā yoga yajñās-tathā’pare | CommentarySome Karma Yogins perform sacrifice to the gods with materials honestly acquired. Some practice charity, some engage in making oblations into the sacred fire, all these perform sacrifice with material objects. Some perform the sacrifice of austerity — Tapas — by devoting themselves to vows and fasts such as Krcchra, Chandrāyana etc. Others perform the sacrifice of Yoga — here the term Yoga indicates pilgrimages to sacred sanctuaries and holy places as the context relates to aspects of Karma Yoga. Some are devoted to recitation of the Scriptures and some to learning their meaning. They are all devoted to the practice of self-control and of strict vows, ie., they are people of steady resolution. |
