Chapter 3: Path of Actionकर्मयोग
3:40
“The senses, mind, and intelligence are said to be the seat of this desire. Through these, it deludes the embodied being by covering their knowledge.”
Sanskrit
इन्द्रियाणि मनो बुद्धिरस्याधिष्ठानमुच्यते | एतैर्विमोहयत्येष ज्ञानमावृत्य देहिनम् ||
Transliteration
indriyāṇi mano buddhir asyādhiṣṭhānam ucyate etair vimohayaty eṣa jñānam āvṛtya dehinam
Commentary
Desire operates through senses, mind, and intellect. These are its strongholds from which it attacks. Understanding this helps us guard these doorways against its entry.
