Tilak insists that Sthitaprajna should :

  • A.Renounce the world
  • B.Work in the world
  • C.Work in renunciation
  • D.Work renouncing the attachment to the fruits of actions

Answer: D

Tilak insists that the sthitaprajna should work renouncing the attachment to the fruits of actions.

In the Gita Rahasya, Tilak reads the Gita as a gospel of karma-yoga. The person of steady wisdom does not abandon action; he continues to work in the world for its welfare, but without attachment to the results. Renunciation is of the fruits, not of the work.

'Renounce the world' is the sannyasa reading Tilak argues against. 'Work in the world' is true but omits the condition of non-attachment that defines his view. 'Work in renunciation' is ambiguous, since what is renounced is attachment to fruits, which only the last option states.
