..Slokam 4-40..ajnas casraddadhanas ca
samsayatma vinasyati
nayam loko ’sti na paro
na sukham samsayatmanah..

…Ainas = one who does not have any knowledge about atman, ashraddhadhanasca = one who does not show any interest or eagerness to know atman, samsayatma = one who is doubtful, vinasyati = will all perish..Nayam lokosti = they will not get anything in this world ( that is they will be living without any fame.)Na para = no place in Moksham, na sukham = will not enjoy this life also, samseyatmana = such doubting persons. ..

4-40.Ramanuja’s Commentary..The word “ajnah” means fool or one who is uninstructed in Vedic wisdom. The word” asraddadhahanah “means one who has no faith even after being instructed. The skeptic is one who doubts the knowledge one has already received. One of this disposition perishes for one who doubts the veracity of the atma or soul and the validity of the teaching taught by the spiritual master has no hope in this world or in the heavenly spheres. That is because sacrificing the three goals of human existence being dharma or righteousness, artha or wealth and kama or pleasure. What chance will one have for the fourth being moksa or liberation? For all the ambitions of humans are accomplished by performing some prescribed duty in the Vedic scriptures and fulfilment of any desire is dependent on the conviction that the atma or soul is eternal and the atma is distinct from the physical body. Whoever doubts the existence of the atma or soul or is not sure that it is eternal cannot receive even the smallest percentage of spiritual bliss.

yoga-sannyasta-karmanam
jnana-sanchinna-samsayam
atmavantam na karmani
nibadhnanti dhananjaya..

Dhananjaya = Arjuna, na karmani bandhanti = that person is not bound by karma or actions, atmavantam= the one who has acquired knowledge about atman, yoga = intellect [buddhi of seeing karma in gyana and vice versa, gyana part of Karma yoga is superior to the action part], na sanyasta karmanam = he has abandoned karma..Gyana = knowledge, sanchinna = removed or cut off, samsayam = doubts.

..4-41..Ramanuja’s Commentary..Lord Krishna explains that the performance of karma yoga or prescribed Vedic activities is the mode of action in the ways He indicated above. Dedication and renunciation means that actions are performed in jnana yoga or the cultivation of Vedic knowledge. When performed in this way the binding power of actions becomes neutralised. Also by this method any doubts concerning the atma or soul are dispelled by knowledge of the atma. The compound word “atma-vantam”means one who is self-satisfied. One whose mind is unassailable and unapproachable by any type of doubt. Such a person has achieved an unshakeable certitude about the reality and eternality of the soul from the teachings received from the spiritual master. No actions performed for oneself or for others in the present or the future can ever bind such a person.

tasmad ajnana–sambhutam
hrt–stham jnanasinatmanah
chittvainam samsayam yogam
atisthottistha bharata

Tasmad = therefore, ajnana sambhutam = not understanding atman, samsayam = doubts, hrt–stham = in the mind, chitva = cut off, jnanasin = by the sword of intellect, yogam athishta = do the Karma yoga [ what I, Sri Krishna, preached], Uthishta = get up, bharata = Bharatha dynasty person [Arjuna]

4-42..Ramanuja’s Commentary..The sword of knowledge that Lord Krishna is referring to is “atma tattva “or soul realisation and the yoga or the science of the individual consciousness attaining communion with the ultimate consciousness, He is indicating is karma yoga or the performance of prescribed Vedic activities according to ones rank and station in life.
