Bhagavad Gita Chapter 4 - JnanaKarmaSanyasa Yoga - Sloka 23


The entire content of this mail is from Swami Chidbhavananda's translation of The Bhagavad Gita, published by Ramakrishna Mission.

The Philosophy of Action - Sloka 16-22
1 Gita Sloka every day - Chapter 4 -JnanaKarmaSanyasa Yoga - Sloka 23

Varieties of Sacrifices -sloka 23-33
Pandavadootha perumal-Kanchipuram
Gata sangasya muktasya  gyan avasthit chetasah I
Yagyaya acharatah karma samagrama pravi liyate II sloka 23
गत सङ्गस्य मुक्तस्य ज्ञान अवस्थित चेतसः ।
यज्ञाय आचरतः कर्म समग्रम प्रवि लीयते ।। श्लोक २३ 

Of one unattached, liberated, with mind absorbed in knolwedge, performing work for yagna alone, his entire karma melts away.

Bondage and liberation are born of the attitude of the mind. He performs yagna  who engages himself in karma for the glory of the Lord. Any amount of activities cause no harm to the man freed from attachment. All actions melt away even as heaps of salt consigned into the sea gets dissolved
The palms and knife have to be besmeared with oil before cutting open the jack fruit and removing the pulp. Otherwise the gummy juice in it would stick to the fingers  and cause hindrance.  In that wise protect yourself with self-knowledge before you seek wealth and other worldly things which would otherwise entangle you
Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
