Ome, Vasudeva,

Son Deva,

Kamsa Chanauram Ardana

Devaki Paramanandam

Krishna Vande Jaggur

In the fourth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita,

you are saying that Sri Krishna is building up to teach something very profound.

So in the verses 16, 17,

Sri Krishna has already told us that what is karma, what is action and what is not action.

Even the wisest of people are confused here and I shall tell you that, this secret, I'm going to tell you a secret

by knowing which you will attain liberation. Moksia say Ashubhat.

You will be free of Smsar. You will be free of the inauspicious. He means Samsara here. You will get the highest thing that is liberation, salvation, freedom.

He goes on to say that, you know, one might think, what is so special about action and not action?

I mean, if you do something that's action, if you just sit quietly, that's not action, that's all.

Lie down, that's not action.

No, he says, Krishna said in the 17th verse,

there is something deep to be understood about action,

there is something deep to be understood about what is wrong action,

and something equally deep to be understood about what is not action.

Because he said, Ghanakarmanogati, mysterious and profound are the ways of action.

So with this background, Sri Krishna has come to the 18th verse, which is one of the most

important verses of the whole Bhagavad Gita.
