Logos 51
The Lord said: “Under the influence of the three gunas (of the three attributes and modes of influence of material nature; virtue, passion, ignorance), the soul misled by the false ego (identification with the material body) believes itself to be the author of its acts, when in reality they are accomplished by nature.
He who knows the nature of Absolute Truth (who is none other than God Himself) does not care about the senses and their pleasure, for he knows the difference between the act interested and the act of love and devotion. Confused by the three gunas, the ignorant becomes absorbed in material activities to which he is attached. But although, by the poverty of the knowledge of their author, these actions are of an inferior order, the sage must not disturb the one who performs them.

The Lord says: “He who has realized his spiritual identity does not pursue any personal interest in fulfilling his homework, any more than he tries to shirk his obligations. Thus, man must act out of a sense of duty, detached from the fruit of his acts, because by the act free of attachment, one attains the Absolute.
Whatever a great man does, the mass of people walks always on his trail. The whole world follows the standard it sets by its example. There is no duty in the three worlds that I must perform. I don't need anything, I don't want anything either. And yet I lend myself to action. In accomplishing his duty, the ignorant clings to the fruits of his labor.
The enlightened man also acts, but without attachment, for the sole purpose of guiding the people on the right path. May the wise not trouble the ignorant attached to the fruits of their deeds. They should not be encouraged to inaction, but rather to imbue their every act with love and devotion”.
Logos 53
The Blessed Lord said: “Two kinds of men realize the Absolute Truth. Some approach it by means of empiricism or philosophical speculation, others by acting in a spirit of devotion. It is not simply by refraining from acting that one can free oneself from the chains of karma. Renunciation alone is not enough to achieve perfection. Ineluctably,
