Bhagavad Gita As It Is

References to text BG 4.37
BG 4.37: As a blazing ï¬re turns ï¬rewood to ashes, O Arjuna, so does the ï¬re of knowledge burn to ashes all reactions to material activities.

Text â„–
As long as one does not inquire about the spiritual values of life, one is defeated and subjected to miseries arising from ignorance. Be it sinful or pious, karma has its resultant actions. If a person is engaged in any kind of karma, his mind is called karmÄtmaka, colored with fruitive activity. As long as the mind is impure, consciousness is unclear, and as long as one is absorbed in fruitive activity, he has to accept a material body.
