CHAPTER 18 The Yog of Renunciation यया तु धर्मकामार्थान्धृत्या धारयतेऽर्जुन। प्रसंगेन फलाकाङ्क्षी धृति:सा पार्थ राजसी॥ 34॥ [ ‘‘That steadfastness, O Parth, by which the avaricious man holds fast and acquisitively to obligations, wealth, and pleasure, is of the nature of passion and moral blindness.’’ ] Firmness of will in this case is concerned primarily with the discharging of one’s worldly duties, acquisition of wealth, and sensual pleasure, the three primary objects of material life, rather than with final liberation. The final end may be the same, but in this case the seeker aspires to fruits and desires something in return for his labour.
