Arjuna: Krishna, you are praising both Karma Sanyasa (Detachment with duty) and Karma Yoga (performing once duty) in parallel. Which is very confusing. Please let me know which one to follow and which one of them is better for me.
Krishna: Both these are great. But in my opinion, performing once duty(Karma Yoga) is better than trying to detach with their duty(Karma Sanyasa). Also, it is not possible to attain Karma Sanyasa without performing Karma Yoga. In short, you can attain Karma Sanyasa by performing your tasks(Karma Yoga) without lust and expectations. Once you are able to carry your duties that way, you will also attain Salvation. He who performs his tasks with self-conscious mind, pure heart and considering every living creature same as self will not be bounded or effected by his duties even though he performs them. He performs all his tasks, but still be the person who won’t dwell on them. He does his tasks only for purifying his sole but not with interest.
The ultimate ruler of ones body (sole) is not bothered about ones virtues or sins. Unknowing this, humans are hallucinating about the outcomes. Who knows about this ruler, gets rid of their ignorance and reaches the Almighty. Understand about this ultimate ruler of our body and drive away your ignorance, then you will be able to see the Almighty. This way, get detached from all attachments and focus your energies on that Almighty to reach salvation.
Once you attain this knowledge, you will see everything and everyone as equal. Because, you will understand that the Almighty is distributed across whole universe uniformly. Then you won’t be either happy or sad because of what happens, even if it is what you like or what you don’t like.
Arjuna, any pleasure you crave from outside of you will only lead you to sorrow. Such pleasure's won't make you happy all the time, never believe in them. Get rid of lust and anger, only then you can become truly happy.
He who just dwells in himself and be content with what he has, he who has clarity on what he does, he who has control over his senses, and he who is sinless will attain salvation. Learn me as the recipient of all your deeds, as the ruler of entire universe and friend of all living beings to attain peace.
