12. Way of Knowledge
 The four divisions of labor in human society,
based on individual aptitude, were created by
Me. Though I am the author of this system of
division of labor, one should know that I do
nothing and I am eternal. (The lord has created
people with multitude of skills to run all the
affairs of the world) The one who sees inaction
in action, and action in inaction, is a wise
person
 Acquiring of spiritual knowledge is superior to
any other material activity such as austerity and
charity, because, spiritual knowledge is the goal
and the end result of Karma

13. Meditation
 When there is no desire for sensual pleasures,
or attachment to the fruits of work, and one
has renounced all selfish desires, then one is
said to have attained yogic perfection
 One can elevate or degrade oneself by one's
own mind. The mind can become one's best
friend, or the worst enemy. The mind
becomes a friend to the one who has control
over it, and becomes an enemy for the one
who is controlled by the mind, because the
uncontrolled mind will take one for a ride on
the dark streets of sin
