Passage 3

On the Gītā: 18.66

Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

Before bringing His holy teaching to a close, He said, "Arjuna! Give up all dharmas and take refuge in Me. I will set you free from all sins." That is: taking refuge means giving up mamakāra and abhimāna, wiping out the Ahaṅkāra that says 'I am the body', becoming firm in the conviction 'All is the Paramātma', and dedicating oneself to the Paramātma. In that state, with no saṅkalpa or vikalpa whatever, it is doing as God says, staying as He keeps one, dancing as He makes one dance. To stand apart from the inquiry into dharma and adharma, "this is fit for me to do; this is unfit", and to perform karmas without desire for the fruit: that is the duty of such a one.
