Chapter 9 Shloka 28
शुभाशुभफलैरेवं मोक्ष्यसे कर्मबन्धनै:।
संन्यासयोगयुक्तात्मा विमुक्तो मामुपैष्यसि।।२८।।
Kamla, the Lord now states that whosoever offers all actions unto Him, attains Him.
With mind established in the Yoga of renunciation, such a one is freed from the bonds of karma and from their good and evil fruits. Thus freed, he will attain Me.
One imbued with Sanyas Yoga
1. Once all actions have been offered unto the Supreme Lord, sanyas will inevitably happen.
2. When all mental tendencies are focused on the Lord, vairaagya is inevitable.
3. When love for the Lord is established, this body will belong to Him.
Such an aspirant will become a Sanyasi and a Yogi. It is important to remember that akarma or inaction is not the renunciation of action, but the eradication of attachment with the fruit of action.
a) Akarma does not connote lack of action.
b) Akarma is the surrender of action unto the Lord.
c) The complete annihilation of attachment to action is akarma.
d) Selfless action is akarma.
e) If love for the Truth occurs, if you wish to become an Atmavaan, if you wish to renounce the body idea, if you wish to renounce attachment, each action of yours will become a selfless deed. Because then there will be no question of striving for self-establishment through any particular deed. You will then do nothing for the furtherance of your bodily interests, your status, your own happiness, your recreation etc.
What remains will be pure yagya – each deed will be an offering unto the Lord. Then of what consequence are the fetters of action, the good or evil fruits of action? All these will be offered to the Lord, to Ram Himself.
Little one, now understand this from the Atma’s point of view.
a) This ‘I’ and ‘mine’;
b) claiming the body;
c) claiming the attributes of the body;
d) claiming the actions of the body;
e) claiming the aberrations of the mind;
all these are merely veils of ignorance.
If one renounces these veils, what remains will be the pure Atma in essence. The Lord has merely told us to give Him these polluted thoughts which augment ignorance. Little one, the Lord is merely asking for the illusion that veils the individual.
