Gita reflection Ch 3 verses 30 & 31

  • "Can one fully renounce all actions?" This question leads us to ponder Lord Krishna's call for renunciation. 
  • Swami Chinmayananda explains that just as a serpent is only dangerous when it has fangs, actions only lead to bondage when they are performed with selfish desires. On the other hand, actions performed without desire are not actions at all. 
  • A true renunciate is not a parasite in society. He engages in selfless actions with enthusiasm and zeal, inspired by his love for God who resides in the hearts of all.
