The Key to Yoga - 45-53 


1 Gita Sloka every day - Chapter 2 - Samkhya Yoga - Sloka 51

Karmajam Buddhiyuktahi  phalam tyaktva manishinah I
Janmabandha vinirmuktah padam gachanty anamayam II sloka 51
कर्मजं बुद्धियुक्ताहि फलं त्यक्त्वा मनीषिणः ।
जन्मबन्ध विनिर्मुक्ताः पदं गछन्ति अनामयं ।। श्लोक ५१ 

The wise imbued with evenness of mind, renouncing the fruits of their actions, freed form fetters of births, verily go to the stainless state.

The yogi views all forms ofg karma alike, imbued as they are with misery in varying degrees. He converts the misery laden karma into the misery-freed one. It is the characteristic of karma to perpetuate the wheel of birth and death. But the yogi in his wisdom renders it effectless in this respect. Lord Siva converts the world-destroying poison into the world-saving nectar. The yogi walks the way of Siva. He handles the bondage producing karma in such a way that it becomes the freedom yielding one; yoga is the panacea of all evils in the world. 
With the aid of perishable phenomenon get at the Impersihable Noumenon 
Sri Ramakrishna
