These 2 appear to contradict each other; the truth is we have to work and
leave the result to HIM; so odi is correct. The doctor advocacy is equally
an advice which is strictly followed, being UNFOODY NON GLUTTONOUS life is
a bliss. Tirumular says Noi nadi Noi mudal naadi meaning diagnosis is
finding the route of the diseases. So B G is correct talking about the 3
gunas and food habits in chap 18 general summing up. anubandham kshayam
himsaam anavekshya cha paurusham mohaadaarabhyate karma yattat
taamasamuchyate // 18.25 //
That action which is undertaken from delusion, without regard to the
consequence, loss, injury and one's own ability- that is declared to be
Tamasic. The threefold nature of action (Karma) is described.
Sattvic: Sattvic actions are those that are one's own obligatory duties
towards the society, performed without any attachment to the fruits thereof
and that are not motivated by likes and dislikes. These duties are just
performed spontaneously. Fulfilment and joy are sought in the very work
itself. Such Sattvic actions are undertaken only by men who possess Sattvic
knowledge. A Sattvic action is the purest producing peace and harmony in
the field of activity. It is an obligatory action undertaken for its own
sake in an attitude that work itself is worship. Such inspired activities
are undertaken without any attachment and any anxiety for the rewards. They
are not guided by likes or dislikes of the performer. Action itself is
fulfilment.
Rajasic: Rajasic activities are those that are propelled by desires
waiting for their fulfilment that are performed in a self-centred
vainglorious attitude of `I'ness and which are undertaken with great strain
and labor on the part of the doer. They are undertaken by men of Rajasic
knowledge. Rajasic action is undertaken to satisfy one's desire in a spirit
of arrogance, egoism and vanity. Such actions involve considerable effort
and strain. The consciousness of suffering, the sense that we are doing
something disagreeable, that we are passing through grim suffering and toil
takes away value from the act. To feel consciously that we are doing
something great, that we are sacrificing something vital is a failure of
the sacrifice itself. But when the work is undertaken for the cause, it is
a labor of love and sacrifice itself is not felt as a sacrifice. Doing
unpleasant things from a sense of duty, feeling the unpleasantness all the
time is Rajasic. Doing it gladly in utter unself-consciousness, with a
smile on the lips is Sattvic. It is the difference between an act of love
and an act of law, an act of grace and an act of obligation.
Tamasic: Tamasic actions are those that are undertaken without any
regard for the consequences thereof and that bring disaster and sorrow to
all including the performer. They emanate in an individual out of his
misconception about the goal of life. They are undertaken by men of Tamasic
knowledge. KR IRS 191222
