Arjun, sacrifice through knowledge, is
superior to sacrifice performed with material thins. For all actions without
exception culminate in knowledge, O son of Kunti. …………… (33)
Understand the true nature of that
knowledge by approaching seers of Truth. If you prostrate at their feet, render
them service, and question them with an open and guileless heart, those wise
seers of Truth will instruct you in that
knowledge. …. (34)
Arjun, when you have achieved
enlightenment, ignorance will delude you no more. in the light of that
knowledge, you will see the entire creation first within your own Self, and
then in Me (the Over soul)……. (35)
Even if you were the most sinful of all
sinners, this knowledge alone would carry you, like a raft, across all your
sins. ……… (36)
For, as the blazing fire reduces the
fuel to ashes, Arjun, even so the fire of knowledge turns all actions to ashes.
…… (37)
In this world there is no purifier as
great as knowledge; he who has attained purity of heart through prolonged
practice of karma yoga, automatically sees the light of Truth in the self in
course of time. …… (38)
He who has mastered his senses, is
exclusively devoted to his practice and is full of faith, attains knowledge;
having had the revelation of Truth, he immediately attains supreme peace in the
form of God-realization. …………….. (39)
He who lacks discrimination, is devoid
of faith, and is at the same time possessed by doubt, is lost to the spiritual
path. For the doubting soul there is neither this world nor the world beyond,
nor even happiness. ……………. (40)
Arjun, actions do not bind him who has
dedicated all his actions to God according to the spiritual of Karma Yoga, who
doubts have been dispelled by wisdom and who is delf-possessed.. ……. (41)
Therefore, Arjun slashing to pieces,
with the sword of knowledge, this doubt in your heart, born of ignorance,
establish yourself in Karma Yoga in the shape of even-mindedness, and stand up
for the fight. …….. (42)
Thus, in the Upanishad sung
by the Lord, the Science of Brahma, the scripture of Yoga, the dialogue between
Sri Krishna and Arjun, ends the fourth chapter entitled "The Yoga of
Knowledge as well as the disciplines of Action and Knowledge,"
