Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to maintain the view through analysis that nothing but the notion of niskama karma of the Bhagavat Gita leads us to the Salvation. Here I have discussed different types of karma according to the Indian philosophy. But such diverse types of karma do not conduct us to the salvation. These all are sakam karmas, which bounds us in the cycle of birth-rebirth. Here I have mentioned that non-action or the renunciation of action is impossible. I have also argued that on the ground of their way of life there is a basic difference between Sramana(Buddist)and the Bhagavat Gita. Sramana propounds the theory of non-action, which Bhagavat Gita does not propound anywhere. Non-action can never be the way to achieve salvation. Only Niskama karma generates us towards liberation.
