The position that 'state of sthitaprajña can be attained through the performance of duties' is maintained by :

  • A.M. N. Roy
  • B.Rabindranath Tagore
  • C.Śaṁkara
  • D.Tilak

Answer: D

The position is Tilak's.

In Gītā Rahasya (1915), Bal Gangadhar Tilak read the Bhagavad Gītā as a gospel of action (karmayoga). He argued that even the sthitaprajña, the person of steady wisdom, must go on performing his duties, and that this state is reached through disinterested action rather than renunciation.

Śaṁkara held that liberation comes through knowledge, with action only purifying the mind. M. N. Roy was a radical humanist, and Tagore's thought centred on creative unity and love, not this reading of the Gītā.
