GĪTĀ-RAHASYA OR KARMA-YOGA
$ मयि सर्वाणि कर्माणि संन्यस्याध्यात्मचेतसा । fauzimni ya getuta fanasar: 11 30 11 8 ये मे मतमिदं नित्यमनुतिष्ठन्ति मानवाः । श्रद्धावन्तोऽनसूयन्तो मुच्यन्ते तेऽपि कर्मभिः ॥ ३१ ॥ ये त्वेतदभ्यसूयन्तो नानुतिष्ठन्ति मे मतम् । सर्वज्ञानविमूढांस्तान्विद्धि नष्टानचेतसः ॥ ३२ ॥
meaning that the gunah', that is, the 'senses', rove about in the 'gunah', that is, the 'objects of the senses'. This interpretation is not incorrect; because, the eleven organs of sense and the five 'objects of the senses' (that is, visaya), such as, 'sabda' (sound), sparsa' (touch) etc. form part of the 23 qualities of the original Prakrti according to Samkhya philosophy; but I think that, the statement, "guņā guneṣu vartante", has been made with reference to all the twenty-four qualities (Gi 13. 19-22; and 14. 23).

[The Blessed Lord now explains the result of acting according to this advice and of not so acting-]
(31) Those devout (persons), who always act according to this advice of Mine, without finding fault with it, they too become free from Karma, (that is, from the bonds of Karma). (32) But, know that those, who do not act according to this My teaching, finding fault with it with a fault-finding vision, such sarvajnana-vimuḍha' (that is, utter fools), thoughtless. persons, are utterly ruined.
[The description of the consequences of following or not following Karma-Yoga, given above to prove that the
