Meaning

Some philosophers are all, 'Actions? Total no-nos, bro. Evil vibes only.' Others are like, 'Nah, sacrifices, gifts, and austerities? Keep that up, fam.'

Commentary

Okay, so some peeps, like, *really* into Sankhya, are all, 'Yo, ditch all the actions, they're, like, totally evil, man. Even if you're, like, *totally* into Karma Yoga.' They're saying that *all* actions are bad news because they, like, totally trap you. It's like, ditch the bad vibes, you know? But then, other philosophers are all, 'Nah, fam, you gotta keep up the sacrifices, gifts, and austerities. Especially if you're all about that Karma Yoga life.' It's a whole debate, you know? But listen up, I'm gonna spill the tea and clear this whole thing up. This is *only* about Karma Yogins, not the peeps who are, like, *way* beyond all that. It's only about the Karma Yogins that this whole debate is about, not the Jnana Yogins or Sannyasins who are, like, *way* past all this drama.
