Krishna,Geeta,Chapter 3, Verse 42.

The working senses are superior to dull matter; mind is higher than the senses; intelligence is still higher than the mind; and he [the soul] is even higher than the intelligence.

Krishna,Geeta,Chapter 3, Verse 41.

In the very beginning curb this great symbol of sin [lust] by regulating the senses, and slay this destroyer of knowledge and self-realization.

Krishna,Geeta,Chapter 3, Verse 40.

The senses, the mind and the intelligence are the sitting places of this lust, which veils the real knowledge of the living entity and bewilders him.

Krishna,Geeta,Chapter 3, Verse 39.

A man's pure consciousness is covered by his eternal enemy in the form of lust, which is never satisfied and which burns like fire.

Krishna,Geeta,Chapter 3, Verse 35.

It is far better to discharge one's prescribed duties, even though they may be faultily, than another's duties. Destruction in the course of performing one's own duty is better than engaging in another's duties, for to follow another's path is dangerous.

Krishna,Geeta,Chapter 3, Verse 34.

Attraction and repulsion for sense objects are felt by embodied beings, but one should not fall under the control of senses and sense objects because they are stumbling blocks on the path of self-realization.

Krishna,Geeta,Chapter 3, Verse 30.

Therefore, O Arjuna, surrendering all your works unto Me, with mind intent on Me, and without desire for gain and free from egoism and lethargy, fight.

Krishna,Geeta,Chapter 3, Verse 27.

The bewildered spirit soul, under the influence of the three modes of material nature, thinks himself to be the doer of activities, which are in actuality carried out by nature.

Krishna,Geeta,Chapter 3, Verse 25.

As the ignorant perform their duties with attachment to results, similarly the learned may also act, but without attachment, for the sake of leading people on the right path.

Krishna,Geeta,Chapter 3, Verse 23/24.

For, if I did not engage in work, O Partha, certainly all men would follow My path. If I should cease to work, then all these worlds would be put to ruination. I would also be the cause of creating unwanted population, and I would thereby destroy the peace of all sentient beings.

Krishna,Geeta,Chapter 3, Verse 22.

O son of Partha, there is no work prescribed for Me within all the three worlds.
Nor am I in want of anything, nor have I need to obtain anything--and yet I am engaged in work.

Krishna ,Geeta,Chapter 3, Verse 21.

Whatever action is performed by a great man, common men follow in his footsteps. And whatever standards he sets by exemplary acts, all the world pursues.

Chapter 3, Verse 19.

Therefore, without being attached to the fruits of activities, one should act as a matter of duty; for by working without attachment, one attains the Supreme.

Krishna,Geeta,Chapter 3, Verse 9.

Work done as a sacrifice for Krishna has to be performed, otherwise work binds one to this material world. Therefore, O son of Kunti, perform your prescribed duties for His satisfaction, and in that way you will always remain unattached and free from bondage.

Krishna,Geeta,Chapter 3, Verse 6.

One who restrains the senses and organs of action, but whose mind dwells on sense objects, certainly deludes himself and is called a pretender.

Krishna,Geeta,Chapter 2, Verse 70.

A person who is not disturbed by the incessant flow of desires--that enter like rivers into the ocean which is ever being filled but is always still--can alone achieve peace, and not the man who strives to satisfy such desires.

Krishna,Geeta,Chapter 2, Verse 69.

What is night for all beings is the time of awakening for the self-controlled; and the time of awakening for all beings is night for the introspective sage.

Krishna,Geeta,Chapter 2, Verse 67/68.


As a boat on the water is swept away by a strong wind, even one of the roaming senses on which the mind focuses can carry away a man's intelligence.

Therefore, O mighty-armed, one whose senses are restrained from their objects is certainly of steady intelligence.

Krishna.Geeta,Chapter 2, Verse 66.

One who is not connected with the Supreme can have neither transcendental intelligence nor a steady mind, without which there is no possibility of peace. And how can there be any happiness without peace?

Krishna.Geeta,Chapter 2, Verse 63.


From anger, delusion arises, and from delusion bewilderment of memory.
When memory is bewildered, intelligence is lost, and when intelligence
is lost,one falls down again into the material pool.
