CHAPTER 2 Curiosity About Action कर्मजं बुद्धियुक्ता हि फलं त्यक्ता मनीषिण:। जन्मबन्धविनिर्मुक्ता: पदं गच्छन्त्यनामयम्॥51॥ [ “Renouncing all desire for the fruits of their action and (thus) freed from the bondage of birth, wise men who are skilled in the way of equanimity and discrimination achieve the pure, immortal state.’’ ] Wise men endowed with the yog of discrimination renounce the fruits arising from their action and are liberated from the bondage of birth and death. They achieve the pure, immortal state of oneness with God. Application of intellect is categorized here into three kinds. Firstly by the way of descrimination (in verses 31-39). This yields two results : Divine riches and ultimate bliss. Secondly by the way of selfless Action (in verse 39-51) which produces only one consequence-liberation from the dire terror of repeated birth and death by attaining immaculate indestructible oneness with god.
