SHRIMAD BUAGVAD GITA-A JAIN PERSPECTIVE
"If I cease to act this world would perish; I would be the cause of confusion and destruction of people." -24
सक्ता:कर्मण्यविद्धांसो यथा कुर्वन्ति भारत । कुर्याद्विदांस्तथासक्ताश्चिकीर्षुलोकसङ्गहम् ॥ २५ ॥
__ "As unwise act with attachment, so the wise, who are seeking welfare of people should act without attachment."- 25
न बुद्धिभेदं जनयेदज्ञानां कर्मसङ्गिनाम् । जोषयेत्सर्वकर्माणि विद्वान्युक्तः समाचरन् ॥ २६ ॥
"The wise should not unsettle the mind of the ignorant who are attached but should engage them in all action by himself performing his own duties." - 26 - प्रकृतेः क्रियमाणानि गुणैः कर्माणि सर्वशः । अहङ्कारविमूढात्मा कर्ताऽहमिति मन्यते ॥ २७ ॥
"Though all actions are performed by the inter -action of "Gunas" of "Prakruti", the fool who is deluded by egoism thinks that he is the doer."- 27
