Pravritti and Nivritti: A Philosophical Discussion in the Light of the Srimad Bhagavad Gita Mrinmay Mandal, Assistant Professor, Ananda Chandra College, Jalpaiguri, West Bengal, India | |
The Śrīmad Bhagavad gītā, a foundational text of Indian philosophy, offers a comprehensive framework for understanding human life through the integration of ethical, psychological, and spiritual dimensions. Central to its teachings are the concepts of pravṛtti (active engagement in worldly duties) and nivṛtti (detachment and spiritual withdrawal), which have traditionally been regarded as opposing paths. The gītā, however, presents a harmonious synthesis of these orientations through the doctrine of niṣkāma karma . The text addresses Arjuna’s moral and psychological crisis on the battlefield of kurukṣetra and emphasizes that liberation is attained not through the renunciation of action, but through the performance of one’s duties without attachment to their outcomes. This paper examines the philosophical significance of pravṛtti and nivṛtti, analyzes the nature of Arjuna’s dilemma, and explores the role of karma yoga, jñāna yoga, and bhakti yoga in reconciling these seemingly divergent paths. This will discuss Gītā’s integrated vision of action and valuable insights for addressing ethical dilemmas, psychological challenges, and the ongoing crisis of values in modern society. | |
