Chapter 3: Path of Actionकर्मयोग
3:7
“On the other hand, if a sincere person tries to control the active senses by the mind and engages in karma yoga without attachment, that person is far superior.”
Sanskrit
यस्त्विन्द्रियाणि मनसा नियम्यारभतेऽर्जुन | कर्मेन्द्रियैः कर्मयोगमसक्तः स विशिष्यते ||
Transliteration
yas tv indriyāṇi manasā niyamyārabhate 'rjuna karmendriyaiḥ karma-yogam asaktaḥ sa viśiṣyate
Commentary
Better than false renunciation is engaged action with mental detachment. One who controls the mind while actively working in the world achieves genuine spiritual progress.
