Then Krishna says ultimately Karma Yoga also has to be offered to Him, He is the object of Karma Yoga 

Bg 3.30

mayi sarvāṇi karmāṇi
sannyasyādhyātma-cetasā
nirāśīr nirmamo bhūtvā
yudhyasva vigata-jvaraḥ

Word for word: 

mayi — unto Me; sarvāṇi — all sorts of; karmāṇi — activities; sannyasya — giving up completely; adhyātma — with full knowledge of the self; cetasā — by consciousness; nirāśīḥ — without desire for profit; nirmamaḥ — without ownership; bhūtvā — so being; yudhyasva — fight; vigata–jvaraḥ — without being lethargic.

Translation: 

Therefore, O Arjuna, surrendering all your works unto Me, with full knowledge of Me, without desires for profit, with no claims to proprietorship, and free from lethargy, fight.

 

mayi sarvāṇi karmāṇi, Unto Me all Karmas sannyasyā, give the fruits of all work to Me, 

ādhyātma-cetasā, Spiritual consciousness

nirāśīr nirmamo bhūtvā, without any desire and without any possessiveness,  

yudhyasva vigata-jvaraḥ, fight without lethargy 

Ultimately Karma Yoga has to be offered to Shri Krishna.

SP said this is one of very important verse and it is almost like military discipline means just do it, like early morning cadets are wake up and told to go marching, the discipline is so strict that they are not allowed to disobey because as in war field it is matter of life and death similarly practicing bhakti yoga is a matter of eternal life verses repeated cycle of life and death.

 

In this verse there are four lines and each of them take it upwards 

yudhyasva vigata-jvaraḥ, yudhyasva is the primary verb in it, what should you do Arjuna? Fight!How to fight in vigata-jvaraḥ, by giving up lethargy so this is talking about giving up mode of ignorance.

nirāśīr nirmamo bhūtvā, so to have asha and to have mamata, to have desire and to have attachments, that is mode of passion.

sannyasyādhyātma-cetasā, when one refers to when one comes to spiritual consciousness that is not just coming to goodness but going beyond goodness because in goodness one still have attachment to worldly things so sannyas and ādhyātma-cetasā is at the pick of goodness and 

mayi sarvāṇi karmāṇi, is transcendental so it is not just devotional it is transcendental 

Difference between devotional and transcendental, someone can be under three modes of material nature and do devotional activities so all of us are doing devotional activity but are we transcendental? No we are not transcendental,  we are struggling to transcend and sometimes we are pulled down and sometimes we are able to rise up.

So there is ignorance, passion, goodness and transcendence and in transcendence also there is spiritual and devotional. 

Spiritual means to do anything with soul so even Brahmavad, even impersonalism is spiritual but devotional means which is centered on Krishna, which is highest level of perfection. But the wonderful aspect of devotional is it can extend from highest to the lowest.

So the path of Bhakti is the path that stretches up to the submit but it goes down to the valley also to the lowest level that means a person in tamo gunna can also practice Bhakti Yoga and of course after practicing Bhakti Yoga he won’t stay in tamo guna for ever and if it is not happening then the person is not letting the process of Bhakti to bring inner transformation but if the person is serious then transformation will happen and then the person will no longer will stay in three modes. So Bhakti can be practiced in any mode so it is like a big ladder from lowest mode of ignorance to goodness to spiritual to pure devotional. So that is the process of Bhakti Yoga.

So Krishna is saying mayi sarvāṇi karmāṇ, offer all your work to Me this is the first time Krishna has talked about offering something to Himself. In 2.61 He said control your senses and offer your controlled senses to Me, tāni sarvāṇi saṁyamya
yukta āsīta mat-paraḥ

Control the senses and fixed you mind on Me.

So here He is saying 

mayi sarvāṇi karmāṇi
sannyasyādhyātma-cetasā

Here Without lethargy without attachment without desires with renounced Spiritual consciousness do your work yudhyasva, fight and offer the fruits of your work to Me.

SP classic Purport: This verse clearly indicates the purpose of the Bhagavad-gītā.

What is the purpose? To offer everything to Krishna 

Also SP uses the word “as if in military discipline”

SP Purport: The living entity cannot be happy independent of the cooperation of the Supreme Lord, because the eternal constitutional position of the living entity is to become subordinate to the desires of the Lord

So it is our nature to be connected with Krishna to love Krishna and to gain happiness there off, just as a fish cannot be happy outside water we cannot be happy separated from Krishna.

Padyavalli has a beautiful verse which says My dear Lord just as a land without water turns to desert, just as a living being cannot live without food, as sick person needs medicine, just as a person in desert needs water just as a person in famine needs food, just as the flowers need sunlight for blossoming this way he gives various examples from nature and finally he says similarly O Lord I need you.

So we need you my Lord please reveal yourself to us, that is our nature we cannot live without Krishna

SP Purport: And if there is any reluctance to execute such a stern order, which is without consideration of so-called kinsmen in the bodily relationship, that reluctance should be thrown off; in this way one may become vigata-jvara, or without feverish mentality or lethargy.

The word Jvara has one more meaning that is fever, when there is fever we sleep and don’t do anything but feverness also leads to hyper activity at times which is not like a physical fever but a mental fever for example when people use the word mania like cricket season, football season. When police come to arrest it is gross but when modes comes e.g. mode of ignorance it is subtle, mode comes wearing attractive masks e.g. world cup is coming enjoy!!! But what people do in the name of enjoyment they become puppets in the mode of passion / ignorance and after sometimes when the mania is over people completely forgets it. Same way fashions are there e.g. everyone will have hair style of a particular kinds or shows of particular kinds and after sometime the whole mania goes off, even from material point of view it looks foolish but that is how it works. 

According to some survey how do people spend their lives? Major part of the live goes in work, they go to office and after that their time goes in two activities watch and shop they come and they have their family but they are not watching their family they are watching TV, so whole family is united in illusion, and because of watching more TV they become mentally dull and physically lulled means physically inactive, on TV all the enjoyments are second hand enjoyment since other person is enjoying and we are just watching, reason of eating more while watching movies is people want some real enjoyment otherwise everything is illusion. Unconscious eating is biggest problem of obesity as we are not aware how much we are eating and that is the time we over eat. 

TV is not run by compassionate people but by passionate people to make money so there are all kinds of advertisements, they say whatever you have is old is out of fashion or wrong so throw those away and buy new ones. Watch TV and become shopaholic, shop till you drop (physically or financially),  with credit card people don’t even realize how much they are shopping. It is mode of passion taking over people. People watch TV to relax but caught up in new ideas of shopping. The best advertiser is one who make is believe that we won’t be able to live without thing which is advertised, although we can very easily live without those. 

Work more to full fill your desires and for relaxation watch more TV and get more ideas and do more shopping and to fulfill it work more and more and get trapped.

WWS (work, watch, shop) – world wide stupidity that is encompassing everyone and this is actually example of how mode of passion can captivate a person.

So feverness is jvaraḥ

Krishna is saying yudhyasva vigata-jvaraḥ.

Yudhyasva represents the activity, the prescribed duty so all of us have to live in the world and while living in the world we have to do prescribed duties. But how do we do prescribed duties yudhyasva vigata-jvaraḥ, while living in the world we can overcome by fanze by mania by feverness that is present in the world so we have to stay away from this, this feverness can make people senseless bankrupt at time so one has to stay away from that and how that will happen? 

nirāśīr nirmamo bhūtvā, one shouldn’t have too many desires. One should not have possessive mentality ultimately I have come in this world I came with nothing I go with nothing the only thing which go with me is my connection with Krishna so why I should bother to acquire so many things all the things what is the use of that? 

Socrates a great thinker in western world is known to be very simple and austere, one time people saw that he has gone to the market place and standing their for a long time looking at the things which are sold, so one frind went to him and joked with him O Socrates you are also beaten by shopping bug? Socrates said No I am looking at all the unnecessites that people are shopping.  

So vigata-jvaraḥ, this is the kind of feverness that we have to stay free from.
