Adhyaay 3कर्मयोगःKarma Yoga

Arjuna ki uljhan (3.1–3.2). Agar buddhi (gyaan) karm se shreshth hai, to Krishna unhe ghor yuddh mein kyon laga rahe hain? "Aapke mile-jule vachanon se meri buddhi bhram mein hai — ek nishchit baat bataaiye."

Karm se bhaagna sambhav nahin (3.3–3.8). Do nishthaayein hain — saankhyon ki gyaan-yoga se, yogiyon ki karm-yoga se (3.3). Karm shuru na karne se naishkarmya nahin milta, na sirf sannyaas se siddhi (3.4). Koi ek kshan bhi bina karm nahin reh sakta — prakriti ke gun karvaate hain (3.5). Bahar se indriyaan rok kar man se vishayon ka chintan karna mithyaachaar hai (3.6); man se indriyon ko sambhaal kar, anaasakt hokar karm-yoga karne wala shreshth hai (3.7). Isliye niyat karm karo; karm akarm se shreshth hai (3.8).

Yajña (3.9–3.16). Yajña ke liye kiya karm nahin baandhta; aasakti chhod kar usi ke liye karm karo (3.9). Prajaapati ne yajña ke saath praja ko racha (3.10); devta aur manushya ek-doosre ko poshit karte hain (3.11); jo bina lautaaye bhogta hai, woh chor hai (3.12); yajña-shesh khaane wale mukt hote hain, apne liye pakaane wale paap khaate hain (3.13). Anna → praani, varsha → anna, yajña → varsha, karm → yajña (3.14); karm ki jad aur aage (3.15). Jo is chakra ko nahin chalaata, woh vyarth jeeta hai (3.16).

Gyaani aur lok-sangrah (3.17–3.29). Aatma mein ramne wale ka koi kartavya nahin (3.17–3.18) — par tum aasakti chhod kar kartavya karo (3.19). Janaka aadi ne karm se siddhi paayi; lok-sangrah ke liye karm karo (3.20). Shreshth jo karta hai, log wahi karte hain (3.21). Krishna ka apna udaharan: mujhe kuchh paana nahin, phir bhi main karm karta hoon — varna log bhatkenge, lok bikhar jaayega (3.22–3.24). Gyaani bhi, aasakti ke bina, lok-sangrah ke liye waise hi karm kare (3.25), aur agyaaniyon ki buddhi na bhatkaaye (3.26). Sab karm prakriti ke gun karte hain, ahankaar "main karta" maanta hai (3.27); tattvagya jaanta hai — gun gunon mein bartte hain (3.28); woh adhoore gyaaniyon ko vichalit na kare (3.29).

Samarpan aur svadharma (3.30–3.35). Sab karm mujh mein arpit karke, aasha aur mamta chhod kar, bina santaap yuddh karo (3.30). Shraddha aur anasooya se is mat ko maanne wale mukt hote hain; dosh dhoondhne wale bhatakte hain (3.31–3.32). Sab apni prakriti ke anusaar chalte hain — nigrah kya karega (3.33)? Har indriya-vishay mein raag-dvesh hain; unke vash mein mat aao (3.34). Apna dharma, kamiyon ke saath bhi, paraaye se behtar hai (3.35).

Kaam — shatru (3.36–3.43). Arjuna: manushya na chaahte hue bhi paap kyon karta hai (3.36)? Krishna: yeh kaam hai, yahi krodh — rajogun se utpann, kabhi na bharne wala, shatru (3.37). Jaise dhuen se aag, dhool se darpan, jhilli se garbh — waise kaam se gyaan dhaka hai (3.38–3.39). Indriyaan, man, buddhi uske thikaane (3.40). Pehle indriyon ko vash mein karke use maaro (3.41). Indriyon se man, man se buddhi, aur buddhi se bhi pare "woh" (3.42). Buddhi se pare ko jaan kar, apne aap ko thaam kar, is durjay shatru ko maaro (3.43).
