# 54 : (VIDEO) : BHAGAVAD GITA : CHAPTER 4 : " The Yoga of Knowledge as well as the disciplines of Action and Knowledge " : EXPOSITION OF VERSES 32 TO 42


 “Karma is practiced, not for its own sake. It is only as a preparation to the realization of the supreme Brahman.”
“In that knowledge, all karmas culminate…all the karmas done in the spirit of karma yoga and the state of naishkarmayam, ultimately they are meant to take the aspirant to the realization of Brahman.”

“Krishna encourages the spirit of questioning…That openness and self enquiry has always been there from the early days of the Upanishads. So pariprashna is important…”

“(Verse 39)…this is one of my favorite verses. The one who has got shraddha will attain to knowledge.”
