Ep. 162 - सरल भगवद् गीता अध्याय 18 (उपसंहार - संन्यास की सिद्धि) श्लोक 23,24,25 || Bhagavad Gita Simplified Chapter 18 (The Perfection of Renunciation) - Verses 23,24,25 || 21/12/2022

Having explained the three kinds of knowledge, Shri Krishna now describes the three kinds of action. Now we come to the topic of karma, the action itself. Knowledge is the main instigator of any action. So if the knowledge is sattvic, the action will be sattvic, and so on. 

(Verse 23) Shri Krishna declares, that action in the mode of goodness is doing one’s duty in accordance with the scriptures. He further adds that such work should be without attachment or aversion, and without the desire to enjoy the results. 

(Verse 24) Action performed with a longing for its fruit and with the egotistic feeling of personal agency is Rajasic action. It is performed with great effort . 

(Verse 25) Whatever work is done without regard to the ensuing effects, without regard to the loss or injuries to oneself and others, and without regard to one’s own ability, is Tamasic.
