Gita Chapter 14

The Yoga of The Distinction Between The Three Gunas. What is Liberation? Who is it that is liberated and from what, when all is Spirit and Spirit alone. The special feature of the Gita is that it insists that "karma" or action has to be done since we live in an active universe and we cannot say that we will not act. Nature will force us to act. But this action has to be done without expectation of any personal rewards. In this way we will get out of the thrall of the law of karma. This is what is known as "nishkama karma" - when action is done as an offering to the Supreme and the results are left to Him. for indeed He is the sole doer and enjoyer. All we are asked to do is to perform the karma. This is what makes the Gita different from other schools of philosophy. Whereas all other schools say that karma is a bondage and will have to be given up eventually, the Gita says that karma is both the means and the end if done in the way that nature meant us to do.
