Chapter 2,Verse 45

trai-guṇya-viṣayā vedā nistrai-guṇyo bhavārjuna nirdvandvo nitya-sattva-stho niryoga-kṣema ātmavān Krishna advices a karma yogi who wants to use rleigious rituals in a beneficial manner. Veda purva bhaga deals with finite results and worldly benefits.May you transcend them.Hey Arjuna!,the pairs of opposites that are ever prevailant in the world(nirdvandvo bhava),develop tolerance towards them.May you abide by sattva guna in pursuing spiritual goals(nitya sattvastho bhava).For our survival,we need to acquire basic amenities like food,clothing and shelter.But then,out necessities are not satisfied with these three.Once we have clothes,we need a place to keep them(we go in for a cupboard),facilities to wash and dry them(we buy a washing machine).Likewise,we buy a refridgerator for our food.Thus,the tendency to gradually acquire things increases.If you keep increasing your acquistions and thereby maintenance,they will occupy all our time and mental energy.If you need time for spirituality,save your acquisions.A karma yogi is one who wants to lead a simple life.This value is called aparigraha.We accumulate more & more in a hope that they will give us security,but in reality it has nothing to do with possessions.You need possessions,but you must also know where to draw the line. Be mindful of your priorities in life.
