Yatharth Geeta -Swami Adgadanand Ji

CHAPTER 2 Curiosity About Action So Krishn asks Arjun to listen to him while he speaks of the Way of Selfless Action, armed with which he can effectively destroy the bonds of action and its consequence. Here the Yogeshwar has, for the first time, spoken of karm, although without explaining what it is. Instead of dwelling upon the nature of action, he describes its characteristic traits. नेहाभिक्रमनाशोऽस्ति प्रत्यावायो न विद्यते। स्वल्पमप्यस्य धर्मस्य त्रायते महतो भयात्॥40॥ [ “Since selfless action neither wears out the seed from which it sprang nor has any adverse consequence, even a partial observance of this dharm liberates (one) from the dire terror (of repeated birth and death)”. ]
