________________ "बुद्धियुक्तो जहातीह उमे सुकृतदुष्कृते। तस्माद्योगाय युज्यस्व योगः कर्मसुकौशलम् ।।2/50 ||" “A person with equanimity is unmindful of good or bad acts. Such equanimity is art and skill of Yoga". It is strange that good and bad acts have been placed at par. "न हि कश्चित्क्षणमपि जात् तिष्ठत्यकर्मकृत। कार्यते ह्यावशः कर्म सर्वः प्रकृतिजैर्गुणैः । 13/5 ||" "No person remains without doing some act anytime ever". “नियतं कुरू कर्मत्वं कर्म ज्यायो ह्यकर्मणः । शरीरयात्रापि च ते न प्रसिद्धयेदककर्मणः ।।3/7 ||" "One should undertake activities as ordained in scriptures. It is better to be in action than not doing anything. Even body can not be maintained without activity". "नियतस्य तु सन्यासः कर्मणो नोपद्यते । मोहात्तस्य परित्यागस्तामसः परिकीर्तित ।।18/7 ||" “Prescribed activity should not be abandoned because of attachment". "दुःखमित्येव यत्कर्म कायक्लेशभयात्त्यजेत् ।।18/8||" "To abandon activity for fear that all activity is painful, is wrong". “सहजकर्म कौन्तेय सदोसमपि न त्यजेत् । [18/48 ।।" "Arjun! Even faulty activity should not be abandoned". “सन्यासः कर्मयोगश्च निःश्रेयसकरावुभौ । तयोस्तु कर्मसन्नयासात्कर्मयोगो विशिष्यते।।5/2||" “Karm Yoga i.e. engaging in activity is far better than denouncing it". But in following stanzas of Gita activity (Karma) is denounced and is thus a contradiction. “यस्तवात्मरतिरेव स्यादात्मतृप्तश्च मानवः । आत्मन्येव च संतुष्टस्तस्य कार्यं न विद्यते ।।3/17 ||" "Those engrossed in soul need not undertake any activity". “शुभाशुभपरित्यागी भक्तिमान्यः स मे प्रियः । ।12/17 ||"
