27.06.2013	39 & 40	एषा तेऽभिहिता सांख्ये बुद्धिर्योगे त्विमां शृणु । बुद्ध्या युक्तो यया पार्थ कर्मबन्धं प्रहास्यसि ॥२- ३९॥ नेहाभिक्रमनाशोऽस्ति प्रत्यवायो न विद्यते । स्वल्पमप्यस्य धर्मस्य त्रायते महतो भयात् ॥२- ४०॥	eṣā te ’bhihitā sāṅkhyebuddhir yoge tv imāṁ śṛṇu I buddhyā yukto yayā pārthakarma-bandhaṁ prahāsyasi I I  nehābhikrama-nāśo ’stipratyavāyo na vidyate sv-alpam apy asya dharmasyatrāyate mahato bhayāt	Thus far I have described this knowledge to you through analytical study. Now listen as I explain it in terms of working without fruitive results. O son of Pṛthā, when you act in such knowledge you can free yourself from the bondage of works. In this endeavor there is no loss or diminution, and a little advancement on this path can protect one from the most dangerous type of fear.
28.06.2013	41	व्यवसायात्मिका बुद्धिरेकेह कुरुनन्दन । बहुशाखा ह्यनन्ताश्च बुद्धयोऽव्यवसायिनाम् ॥२- ४१॥	vyavasāyātmikā buddhirekeha kuru-nandana I bahu-śākhā hy anantāś cabuddhayo ’vyavasāyinām I I	Those who are on this path are resolute in purpose, and their aim is one.

Being desirous of sense gratification and opulent life, they say that there is nothing more than this. In the minds of those who are too attached to sense enjoyment and material opulence, and who are bewildered by such things, the resolute determination for devotional service to the Supreme Lord does not take place.

Therefore strive for yoga, which is the art of all work.
06.07.2013	51	कर्मजं बुद्धियुक्ता हि फलं त्यक्त्वा मनीषिणः । जन्मबन्धविनिर्मुक्ताः पदं गच्छन्त्यनामयम् ॥	karma-jaṁ buddhi-yuktā hiphalaṁ tyaktvā manīṣiṇaḥ janma-bandha-vinirmuktāḥpadaṁ gacchanty anāmayam	By thus engaging in devotional service to the Lord, great sages or devotees free themselves from the results of work in the material world.
