What are the characteristics of Sattvika abandonment? O Arjuna, an action enjoined by the scriptures, which is performed as a duty, giving up attachment and fruit, is regarded as Sattvika form of abandonment.(9) How can it he known that a striver has true renunciation? The relinquisher relinquishes actions for fruit, also forbidden actions but he neither hates a disagreeable action nor is attached to an agreeable one. He imbued with the quality of goodness, free from doubt, remains established in the self.(10) Why should a man not get rid of complications by renouncing actions instead of performing them in a detached wavy? Since it is not possible for an embodied being to renounce actions completely, it is said that he, who renounces the fruit of actions, has truly renounced.(11) |
