Gita reflection Ch 18 verses 7 & 8

28th November 2024


Lord Krishna begins to explain the concept of 'Tyaga' in detail. He elaborates on the attitude behind giving up the results of actions. 

Actions are broadly divided into daily and occasional engagements. Daily actions, known as 'Nitya Karma,' are to be performed without fail, relinquishing any selfish motives. 

Wrongly considering the abandonment of daily actions as 'Tyaga' and failing to perform them is considered a Tamasic Tyaga. 

Every action requires time, effort, and interest. If one feels that daily actions cause physical suffering or pain and fails to perform them, it is considered Rajasic Tyaga. This kind of abandonment does not yield any spiritual benefit.
