Soul attains nirvana only when ya unchain it...

According to the Bhagavad Gita, an upanishad in Hindu mythology 'n often described as a concise guide to Hindu theology 'n also as a practical, self-contained guide to life, Pandava prince Arjuna faces confusion 'n moral dilemma right in the middle of battlefield, "How can I ever hurt my own kin?"

It is then that Lord Krishna elaborates several yogic 'n vedantic philosophies, 'n explains the different ways via which the soul can reach the supreme being, "Let the destiny guide ya, not the guilt... Karma in itself is a Dharma... Set aside all meritorious deeds (Dharma), just surrender completely to My will (with firm faith 'n loving contemplation). I shall liberate ya, Do not fear."

The Bhagavad Gita further states it's not the fruition of deeds but rather the tranquility produced in the mind by pursuing the deed which is of supreme importance.
