अध्याय तिसरा

II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

मग आइका अर्जुनें म्हणितलें I देवा तुम्हीं जें वाक्य बोलिलें I  तें निकें म्यां परिसिलें I कमळापति II 1 II
तेथ कर्म आणि कर्ता I उरेचिना पाहतां I ऐसें मत तुझें श्रीअनंता I निश्चित जरी II 2 II
तरी मातें केवीं श्रीहरी I म्हणसी पार्था संग्रामु करीं I इये लाजसी ना महाघोरीं I कर्मीं सुतां II 3 II
हां गा कर्म तूंचि अशेख Iनिराकरिसी नि:शेख I तरी मजकरवीं हें हिंसक I कां करविसी II 4 II
तरी हेंचि विचारीं I हे ऋषीके I तूं मानु न देसी कर्मलेशा I आणि येसणी हे हिंसा I करवीत आहासी II 5 II

"Then Arjun said to Lord Krishna, I listened attentively to what you said. Accordingly if you firmly believe that both the karma (action) and karta (the doer) cease when the Self Realization is attained, then why do you insist me to fight? Why should I do this horrific karma? While praising Self Realization you consistently denounce karma, then why do you want me to do this violent karma of killing? I want to know about this contradiction."
