Srimad Bhagavadgita Sadhaka Sanjivani -Swami Ramsukhdas
Chapter 2
Appendix:-One is the division of actions and one is the division of fruit (result). A man's right is in the division of actions (performance of duty), not in the division of fruit. The reason is that performance of duty is under the control of a man while awarding the result of past actions is ordained by destiny viz., `Prarabdha'. If we perceive from the view-point of Karmayoga whatever material (thing, ability and power) we have obtained, that is `Prarabdha' and their proper use viz., by assuming them not as ours or for us, but by assuming them as others' and for them, and rendering service with them to others is `Purusartha'. rago liftgamabodhasya cittavyayama bhumisu It means that allachment (attraction) of the mind to objects, persons and actions is the main sign (mark) of ignorance. As when the hollow of a tree catches fire, it does not remain green any more but it is dried up, similarly he who has caught fire in the form of allachment, can't attain peace.
