This chapter discusses the concept of karma, which is derived from the Sanskrit word "kri," meaning "to do." Karma refers to all actions and their effects, particularly in relation to one's character. The text emphasizes that the ultimate goal of humanity is knowledge, not pleasure, which is temporary and misleading. Both pleasure and pain serve as significant teachers in life, shaping an individual's character through their experiences. The character of a person is formed by a combination of happiness and misery, with the latter often being a more profound teacher. Notably, great individuals in history have frequently learned more from adversity than from prosperity. The text concludes by asserting that true knowledge is intrinsic to humanity and originates from within.
