Chapter – 304 – The legend of Lord Krishna -  155

Nimi Navayogi Samvadham

King Nimi speaks “Oh! Bhramin, kindly narrates how did Karmayoga help to get rid of the cluster of thoughts”

Navayogi Avirhothra speaks “ Oh! Rajan, the Karmayoga is the sincere performance of daily rites without expecting its fruitful results and surrendering the entire results to the supreme Lord.   Akarma is non-performance of daily rites, due to the lack of time or belief which multiplies the interest in worldly matters and bondages, eventually causes rebirths.  The Vikarma is the performance of unwarranted rites and non-performance of the daily rites, which accumulates sins and forces the Jeeva to hurl in the cycles of birth and death.  Oh! Rajan, even the intellectuals have no clear cut idea about it, therefore it remains unknown to all. "

Avirhothra continues "The Veda is Paroksha Shastra, describes how to keep the mind and intellect of the human engaged to various rites, in order to distract the souls from unwanted thoughts and channelize the mind to the path of Moksha.   The Veda instructs the individuals to keep engaged in various rites, in order to get relieved from the cluster of thoughts, eventually attain the path of Moksha, and the Phalashruthi has given to persuade the individuals to perform the rite and elevate their soul.  Whoever does not follow the prescribed rites in the Veda would take several births, due to their inability to keep the mind free from unwanted thoughts.  The Yathishwaras are thoroughly aware about it, they do not get attached to Karma or people or wealth, and elevate their souls; they attain the supreme bliss with the constant practice of renunciation/abandonment.  Oh! Rajan, the practice of contemplating on any of the incarnations the supreme Lord, and performance of rites is called Karmayoga/Sagunopasana, without expecting the fruitful results of the Karma and accept all the happenings as the grace of Lord.  Oh! Rajan contemplates upon supreme Lord Hari who resides as the soul in you, following strict austerities, with the practice of Pranayama, and perform veneration of supreme Lord.”
