Sannyasa - Part 15 of 20

‘To do karma and also to do dhyAna simultaneously’ is incompatible. So long as one is in karma stage, associated with that there will be several relationships.

*sangAt sanjAyate kAmaH …krodhaH … * as the Lord has said (B.G. II – 62), a single such association will set up a chain relationship of kAmaM, krodhaM, etc. and finally end up in *buddhi-nAshAt
praNashyati* (intelligence is destroyed and the individual is lost).

That is why the Acharya says in Vivekachudamani (147/149) “karma-koTibhiH na shakyaH” – even if a crore of karma is done, the bondage will not cease.

*viveka-vijnAna-mahAsinA vinA dhAtuH prasAdena sitena manjunA* --
