RESULTS OF RENUNCIATION OF ACTION
असुर्या नाम ते लोका अंधेन तमसा वृताः।
Asûryâ nâma te lokâh andhena tamasâ vritâh,
ता स्ते प्रेत्याभिगछन्ति ये के चात्महनो जनाः ॥3॥
Tâgmste pretyâbhi-gacchanti ye ke câtma-hano janâh. (Isha 3).
"Sunless are those worlds, and enveloped in blindering gloom to which all those people , who are slayers of their own Souls go, departing from here".(Swami Chinmayananda)
The great Master of Upanisad declares here that having been born as man, an individual (or society or community or nation), who refuses to live either the ' the life of renunciation/meditation' (cf. verse 1)or ' the life of intense and continuous activity'(cf. verse 2), is to be considered as a suicide. Such an entity must necessarily come into fall into an abyss of darkness and despair, experiencing a terrible down-turn in its cultural and spiritual eminence. If a community is neither willing to live the higher values nor be efficient in its constructive material program, such a generation should slowly decay into darkness, having lost its soul, and to face the sorrows of dark age. Such people are considered the 'slayers of their Souls' (Atma-hanah), or Self-destroyers, who kill the Divinity in themselves, will go to the 'sunless worlds',when they leave their bodies
Thus, with this Mantra(verse) the third 'wave of thought' indicates brilliantly the consequences for individual entities without following the 'Path of Renunciation'(verse 1) or the alternate 'Path of Action'(verse 2) .
