Gyana Karma Sannyasa Yogah - As a blazing fire reduces wood to ashes, O Arjuna, so does the fire of knowledge reduce all karma to ashes.
यथैधांसि समिद्धोऽग्निर्भस्मसात्कुरुतेऽर्जुन |
ज्ञानाग्नि: सर्वकर्माणि भस्मसात्कुरुते तथा ||37||

As a blazing fire reduces wood to ashes, O Arjuna, so does the fire of knowledge reduce all karma to ashes.

  • Jnanagni: The fire of knowledge.
  • Bhasmasat: To reduce to ashes.

Just as fire consumes wood, Krishna says, the fire of knowledge consumes karma. This vivid analogy motivates Arjuna to seek wisdom that transcends past actions, offering hope that through spiritual growth, he can overcome any karmic limitations and achieve liberation.
