Gita reflection Ch 18 verses 9 & 10

29th November 2024


The Sattvic attitude towards daily actions involves sincere performance by considering them as one's duty. These actions are performed without attachment and by relinquishing the results accrued. 


This Sattvic Tyaga helps the seeker avoid anxiety while performing and also prevents the accumulation of vasanas by rising above the likes and dislikes related to the results.

 

No one can predict the course of everyday actions. We can plan, but it is not necessary that the day will unfold the way we plan. 

 

A person with a Sattvic attitude does not despise engaging in actions that may bring benefits like heaven, which he may not desire. Nor will he be attached to actions such as japa, upasana, meditation, etc., which directly result in purifying the mind. 

 

He remains free of doubts about remaining in constant identification with the Self, which will bestow him freedom here and now.
