Chapter 3 of the Bhagavad Gita: Yoga of Action (Karma Yoga)
1. O Janardana, if Thou hold that the attitude of detachment is superior to action, then why, O Keshava, do Thou urge me to such dreadful action?
2. Thou seem to confuse my understanding with Thy disconcerting words; Tell me, therefore, with certain words, how I can achieve salvation.
The Lord said:
3. I have spoken to you before, O sinless man, of two attitudes in this world: that of the Sankhyas, by the Yoga of Knowledge (Jnana) and that of the Yogis, by Karma Yoga (Yoga of action).
4. Man does not match the action less state of Brahman by mere non-performance of work, nor does he attain perfection by renunciation only.
5. Because nothing remains inactive even for a moment; everyone acts obliged
by the Gunas
inherent to Prakriti
6. He who represses the organs of action, but allows the mind to reside in
sensory objects, such a person, totally deluded, is a hypocrite.
7. But he, O Arjuna, who, keeping all his senses under the control of the mind,
surrenders himself to Karma Yoga (Yoga of Action), without attachment, that man
attains excellence,
9. This world of men suffers the slavery of all actions, except those that are done as a sacrifice; To this end, O Kaunteya, perform the action without attachment.
10. Along with the sacrifice, the Lord of beings created humanity, declaring: «Thus you will multiply; May this be for you the giver of all your desires.
11. «With this you will be able to please the gods and have the gods please you; Thus you please each other so that you can achieve the greatest good.
12. “Pleased by the sacrifice, the gods will grant you the desired blessings.” He who enjoys his gifts without offering them anything, he is a true thief.
13. The righteous man who eats the residue of the sacrifice is freed from all without, but the wicked who cook only for themselves, they eat without.
14. Life is born from food, food is born from rain; From sacrifice comes rain and sacrifice is the result of action.
15. Action emanates from Brahman and Brahman from the Imperishable; hence the omnipresent Brahman is always firmly established in sacrifice.
Etc.
This is how the third chapter ends titled Karma Yoga (Yoga of Action)
He who has acquired Brahma-Jnana, or knowledge of Brahman, sees everything as Brahman. In all the different manifestations of nature, he sees Atman, and therefore considers everything equally. For him everything that exists, regardless of its name and form, is made of a single substance: Brahman (Atman). That is why he has love and compassion for all creatures on our planet.
