Chapter 5 · Karma Sanyasa Yoga
Action for Purification · A Different Purpose
Meaning
"Yogis perform action with body, mind, intellect, and even with the senses alone, abandoning attachment, for the purpose of self-purification."
Explanation
Krishna redefines the purpose of action itself — not for gain, but for the gradual purification of one's own being.
Today's Life Lesson
