Shri Sankara's Gita Bhashya
(Sri Sankaracharya's Commentary on the Gita)
CHAPTER -3
Also from the following texts :- "Give up virtue and give up vice; give up both truth and untruth. Having given up both truth and untruth, give up that[1] by which you give them up"[2] "Seeing samsāra (worldly life) to be worthless, and betaking themselves to supreme non-attachment, they renounce without marrying, intent on discerning the real truth. "(Brhaspati to Kaca). Śuka teaches: "Man gets bound by action; and gets released through Knowledge. Therefore, far-seeing ascetics do not engage in action".[3] Here also (in the Bhagavad-Gltā, V-13) - "Having renounced all actions by the mind." etc. Also because moksa is not a result to be achieved by action, action is of no use for the seeker of moksa. |
