Surrender


Hare Krishna, Namaskarams

Edited from my notes on
Bagavat Gita lecture by Swami Paramarthananda:

When one does all duties as per
varnAsrama dharmA prescribed in sastrAs and cultural background, in total surrender to the lord with IshvarArpana buddhi the lord promises to release him from the effects of all pApa and puNya karmas. The essence of veda is that every one has to go through the stages of karmayogA and jnana yoga with the attitude of bhakti all the times to be ever in surrender at the lords feet.

Dr Radhakrishnan writes in his book on
Bagavat Gita: God asks of us total self giving and gives us in return the power of the spirit which changes every situation. When we turn to him and let him fill our whole being our responsibility ceases.
