Arjuna's friend was Lord Kṛṣṇa, but Kṛṣṇa never said... He is God Himself. He is the Supreme Personality of God Himself. He never said Arjuna that "I am your friend. I shall supply all your necessities. You don't require to work. You stop." No, He never said that. Rather, Arjuna was declining to fight, but Kṛṣṇa is inducing him to fight. So in spiritual platform there is no question of stopping work, no question of stopping work. But work for the Supreme. That's all, īśāvāsyam idaṁ sarvam, with God consciousness.

I have given you several times the example that the sun is far, far away from us. Still he, he can distribute his heat and light to us. So if we work with God consciousness, although we are here in this platform, material platform, that work is admitted by the Supreme Lord. That is called ''yoga-sthaḥ''. ''Yoga-sthaḥ'' . . . ''yoga'' means keeping touch with the Supreme. That is called ''yoga''. There are different kinds of ''yoga'' mentioned in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'', especially ''jñāna-yoga'', ''karma-yoga'', and ''bhakti-yoga''. And within ''jñāna-yoga'' there are many other ''yogas—dhyāna-yoga'',''haṭha-yoga'', so many things.

Now, here it is said that ''yoga-sthaḥ kuru karmāṇi'': "You be situated in your ''yoga'' or in meditation." Generally ''yoga'' is understood as meditation. But ''yoga'', real meaning of ''yoga''— to keep, to keep in touch with the Supreme—that is called ''yoga'', to keep in touch. So you have to work for, the er, from the platform of spiritual consciousness. At the same time you have to work. The Lord never says that "You stop work," never says. Arjuna . . . Arjuna's friend was Lord Kṛṣṇa, but Kṛṣṇa never said . . . He is God Himself. He is the Supreme Personality of God Himself. He never said Arjuna that "I am your friend. I shall supply all your necessities. You don't require to work. You stop." No, He never said that. Rather, Arjuna was declining to fight, but Kṛṣṇa is inducing him to fight. So in spiritual platform it is . . . there is no question of stopping work, no question of stopping work. But work for the Supreme. That's all, ''īśāvāsyam idaṁ sarvam'' ([[vanisource:ISO 1|ISO 1]]), with God consciousness.
 
Now, there are three processes of ''yoga'': ''jñāna-yoga'', and ''karma-yoga'', and ''bhakti-yoga''. Now, ''jñāna-yoga'', take for example ''jñāna-yoga''. ''Jñāna-yoga'' means to keep in touch with the Supreme by speculation of higher knowledge, that discriminating what is spirit and what is matter. So there are philosophers, they are discriminating that, "This is matter . . ." Neti neti, "This is matter, and this is spirit." Now, that requires study, and that requires knowledge also.
