 Srimad Bhagavadgeeta :

 Chapter-5 ( Karma-sanyasa-yogam ).

 Slokam-10.

 Brapmnyadhaya karmani samgam tyktva karoti yaha,

 Lipyate na sa papena padmapatramivambasa.

 Yaha = Who,

 Karoti = Acts,

 Adhaya = By dedicating, by surrendering; 

 Karmani = (all ) Actions,

 Brahmani = To Brahmam, To God; with the idea, 'I am working for Him, as a servant does everything for his master',

 Tyaktva = (and ) By renouncing,

 Samgam = Attachment, even with regard to,

 Teh = Resulting Liberation; 

 Sa = He,

 Na lipyate = Does not get polluted, is not affected; 

 Papena = By sin;

 Iva = just as; 

 Padma-patram = A lotus leaf; is not affected by water. ( water drops never wet the leaf)

 He who dedicates all his works to the spiritual forsaking of his attachments is never affected by sin like a lotus leaf is in the water.
One who acts by dedicating actions to Brahman and by renouncing attachment, he does not become polluted by sin, just as a lotus leaf is not by water. The only result that will certainly accrue from such action will be the purification of the heart.

 If you act after you have offered your actions to Me you will not be affected by agitation, just as a lotus leaf is untouched by water.

 Like a lotus leaf in the water he, who resigns all his activities to the spiritual in forsaking his attachments, proceeding thus, is never affected by any misfortune and trouble. 

 One who performs his duty without attachment, surrendering the results unto the Supreme God, is not affected by sinful action, as the lotus leaf is untouched by water.

9: The Unity of the Lover and the Beloved : Part-8. The distressed souls seeking God are of one type. One who is baked in the fire of samsaram,who is tortured in this hell of earth, suffering through various sorrows, seeks riddance from the grief of the world by resort to God under the impression that God is like a parent—a father or a mother or a supreme saviour. The intention behind this devotion is redress—freedom from sorrow, the inability to bear suffering. This is the reason here behind the devotion to God. Whether this could be an adequate reason, anyone can contemplate independently for oneself. Can we love God merely because He is the only source of redemption from our sorrows? Do we want freedom from sorrow, or do we want God? That is a different question that will come up later on. Swami Krishnananda To be continued  ....

The Relevance of the Bhagavadgita to Humanity The First Six Chapters of the Bhagavadgita:  Chapter 4: Stories from the Aranya Parva - 1. ================================================================================== The Aranya Parva of the Mahabharata is a very vast book. It is the largest book, next to the Shanti Parva, out of the eighteen books of the Mahabharata. All the stories, anecdotes, narrations, mythological descriptions – practically all which we may consider as popular religion – can be seen beautifully pictured in the Aranya Parva of the Mahabharata. It is one of the most interesting treatises, filled with stories of wondrous, miraculous occurrences and the possibilities, secrets, and profundities of creation. No human being will believe some of the things stated there. They will say that this is not possible, but everything is possible in this crea...
