“One who performs all actions as a sacrifice, who is free from attachments and whose intellect is established in divine wisdom is freed from all karma”
Commentary Every life is a sacrifice to another life form in the revolving cycle of evolution. In return for the physical body and its capabilities, humans offer actions in the world. Good karma leads to material benefits like health, money, house, better relationships etc. Even good karma has to be extinguished as a sacrifice through ‘enjoyment’ of such material benefits. Good and bad karma karma are bondages in gold and iron chains. How can one escape these dualities of good and bad karma? By offering every action and experience inwardly to God, divine wisdom is established and one becomes free from bondage.
