Chapter 12
Bhakti Yoga
Tatparya Nirnaya :- One who renounces performance of all actions which do not please Sri Vishnu is the renouncer who renounces pride that he performs all the actions or who renounces the fruits of action to the Lord. The wise speak of the renunciation of the fruits of all the actions. Renouncing all the actions to Me with mind and intellect” etc.
17 – 18. He who neither rejoices nor hates, neither grieves nor desires, who has renounced both the merits and demerits, he who is de voted to Me, is dear to Me. He who is equal to the foe as well to the friend, similarly in honour and dishonour, cold and heat, pleasure and pain, free from attachment.
Tatparya Nirnaya :- He who does not desire anything besides devotion, wisdom and detachment is for the one who renounces merits as well as demerits. Like those who have little wealth being called 'one without wealth by normal people, those who are same in happiness and misery are also often called ones wanting in joys. Primarily there is no conncetion or relationship between happiness and misery nor is there complete renunciation of joys etc. till one is fully liberated. When the mind is attracted towards unrighteousness it is said to be Joy, by Shabda Nirnaya. Therefore, even Joy may be considered as a defect
