Chapter 18
Mokshasanyaasa Yoga
Tatparya Nirnaya :- In the sacrifice of wealth, in the sacrifice of knowledge, in the sacrifice of penance, one should perform charity, instruct and practice austerity according to one's capacity and according to the classification (Varna) and stage (aashramaa) in life, together with other functions. This is the purport. Those belonging to the lowest of the classes should propitiate Sri Vishnu by repeating His name, speaking truth and austerity of fasting etc.
7. Renunciation of those actions, which are ordained to be done, is not desirable. Giving up (such actions) through ignorance is declared to be of taamasik.
Tatparya Nirnaya :- Non-attachment to the fruits of action is what is said to be the true nature of renunciation; giving up performance of the action alone is erroneous.
8. Renunciation of action because it is painful or from fear of physical suffering, having been declared to be raajasik does not bring any rewards.
Tatparya Nirnaya :- Unless one is deluded, what one perceives is but cause of misery. Misery is, however, only the mental impression. Because normally what affects the body is spoken separately. “Misery is but a mental stale. Exertions should be known as external phenomenon. With proper discrimination all this would be clear”, thus in Shabda Nirnaya.
