Premanand Maharaj Ji
If the Gita stresses karma, why should I chant the Name?
Karma alone binds, even good karma
The Gita speaks of karma yoga, not bare karma, and karma alone binds whether good or bad. Good karma is a golden chain and bad karma an iron one, so we need yoga that frees us from both.
Good karma is a golden chain, bad karma an iron chain, but you are bound in both.
