==== TEXT 37 ====

<div class="devanagari">
:यथैधांसि समिद्धोऽग्निर्भस्मसात्कुरुतेऽर्जुन ।
:ज्ञानाग्निः सर्वकर्माणि भस्मसात्कुरुते तथा ॥३७॥
</div>

<div class="verse">
:yathaidhāṁsi samiddho 'gnir
:bhasma-sāt kurute 'rjuna
:jñānāgniḥ sarva-karmāṇi
:bhasma-sāt kurute tathā
</div>

==== SYNONYMS ====

<div class="synonyms">
''yathā''—just as; ''edhāṁsi''—firewood; ''samiddhaḥ''—blazing; ''agniḥ''—fire; ''bhasmasāt''—turns into ashes; ''kurute''—so does; ''arjuna''—O Arjuna; ''jñāna-agniḥ''—the fire of knowledge; ''sarva-karmāṇi''—all reactions to material activities; ''bhasmasāt''—to ashes; ''kurute''—it so does; ''tathā''—similarly.
</div>

==== TRANSLATION ====

<div class="translation">
As the blazing fire turns firewood to ashes, O Arjuna, so does the fire of knowledge burn to ashes all reactions to material activities.
</div>

==== PURPORT ====

<div class="purport">
Perfect knowledge of self and Superself and of their relationship is compared herein to fire. This fire not only burns up all reactions to impious activities, but also all reactions to pious activities, turning them to ashes. There are many stages of reaction: reaction in the making, reaction fructifying, reaction already achieved, and reaction ''a priori''. But knowledge of the constitutional position of the living entity burns everything to ashes. When one is in complete knowledge, all reactious, both ''a priori'' and ''a posteriori'', are consumed. In the ''Vedas'' it is stated: ''ubhe uhaivaiṣa ete taraty amṛtaḥ sādhv-asādhūnī:'' "One overcomes both the pious and impious interactions of work."
