Today's [1st November,2007] is from a place called Kusum sagar. This pond has a variety of flowers. We were seeing the 33rd sloka and as mentioned it has to be carefully understood to avoid confusion. The confusion could arise as there is emphasis on Gyana and one could come to the conclusion that Sri Krishna is giving importance to Gyana yoga over Karma yoga. He has been advocating to practice of Karma yoga right from the 2nd Chapter. Then is there a contradiction now? No, Sri Krishna is still recommending Karma yoga only. But within the Karma yoga , the Gyana aspect is to be considered more important. Without this Gyana part in the Karma yoga, the action is mechanical and so will not yield the result.
