Chapter 3: Path of Actionकर्मयोग
3:6
“One who restrains the senses of action but whose mind dwells on sense objects certainly deludes himself and is called a pretender.”
Sanskrit
कर्मेन्द्रियाणि संयम्य य आस्ते मनसा स्मरन् | इन्द्रियार्थान्विमूढात्मा मिथ्याचारः स उच्यते ||
Transliteration
karmendriyāṇi saṁyamya ya āste manasā smaran indriyārthān vimūḍhātmā mithyācāraḥ sa ucyate
Commentary
External renunciation while mentally craving sense pleasures is hypocrisy. True spirituality requires inner transformation, not mere outward show. The mind must be genuinely purified.
