Chapter 3
Appendix:-A man is not bound by performing actions but he is bound by `anyatra karma' viz., actions which are done with a selfish motive (for himself) (GIta 3113). Therefore the expression 'yajnarthatkarnano'nyatra loko'yada karmabandhanah' means—nothing is to be done for one's own self.
A man can be free from the bondage of actions only when he renders service to the world with the body, things, ability and strength (power) which he has received from the world and covets no fruit. The reason is that the world can't provide us the thing which we aim at. We want bliss, want immortality, want carefreedom, want fearlessness, want independence (self-dependence). But alt this wilt not be available to us from the world but it will be available by snapping off one ties with the world. In order to get dissociated with the world, it is necessary that whatever we have received from the world, we surrender it to the world in its selfless service.
