The Path of Karma

Said the Supreme Lord:
"O Sinless one(Arjuna), I declared two kinds of worship in the world before. One is the path of knowledge pursued by the Sankhyas and the other, the path of action meant for men of action."[Chapter 3 Verse 3]
"But O Arjuna, he is better who, regulating his senses by his mind, unattached, begins karma yoga with his organs of action."[Chapter 3 Verse 7]
"Therefore do your prescribed work, for doing some work is better than doing no work at all. Without work it is not possible to even maintain the physical body."[Chapter 3 Verse 8]
"Works in this world can cause bondage unless done with a sense of sacrifice. Therefore, O son of Kunti, perform your actions for the sake of sacrifice only, free from attachment."[Chapter 3 Verse 9]
"In the beginning, at the time of creation, Brahma created people along with sacrifice and declared that by performing sacrifices they would become more prosperous and also that sacrifice would be their wish fulfilling Kamadhenu"[Chapter 3 Verse 10]
