CHAPTER 3
Urging The Enemy’s Destruction
And it is quite likely that he will also get what he desires. But then, after this “joy’’, he will find himself stationary at the very point from which he had begun his spiritual quest. What greater loss can there be than this? When the body itself is destructible, how long can its pleasures and joys be with us? So, irrespective of their divine adoration, such men partake only of sin. They are not destroyed, but they do not progress on the way. That is why Krishn stresses action (worship) undertaken in a self-effacing spirit. He has so far said that the practice of yagya confers the highest glory and that it is a creation of accomplished realized sages. But why do such sages undertake the shaping and refinement of mankind? अन्नाद्भवन्ति भूतानि पर्जन्यादन्नसंभव:। [ “All beings get their life from food, food grows from rain, rain emerges from yagya, and yagya is an outcome of action.” ] |
