SHRIMAD BHAGVAD GITA-A JAIN PERSPECTIVE
The Lord explains that what he has pleaded is that any action, which is divorced from Buddhi, is undesirable as it binds the soul, and therefore, if actions were performed with Buddhi Yoga they would not bind the soul. According to the Lord if action is performed without any desire to reap its fruits, it is done in conjunction of Buddhi yoga and hence it would not blind the soul. Arjuna's doubt was the reslult of his wrong perception that Buddhi and Karma should be treated as independent of each other. Verses 3 to 8 of this chapter show that a human being can not remain inactive even for a moment., and one who outwardly restrains himself from sense objects but mentally is dwelling on these objects, is a hypocrite. Therefore, the only way to avoid the bondage of the results flowing from your actions is to perform these actions without any attachment to the fruits thereof.
