How the MISA school of yoga falsifies the Bhagavad Gita to manipulate people

We have received from a reader - contributor:

We all know that in the MISA yoga course, in the second month of the course, in the course on Brahmacharya, the propaganda about "engaging the being", about "integrating into full erotic, sexual, loving activity" appears. There are 5 pages of which only a few lines are devoted to Brahmacharya in the sense of asceticism. There is one sentence that gives a definition of Brahmacharya asceticism, and then on another page there are others that break it down. Let's follow them "The human being engaged in YOGA practice has the choice of: a) renouncing sexual activity, making every effort through certain YOGA techniques to channel sexual potential, gradually transforming it into other forms of energy..."

So far so good, but let's see what comes next: "It is obvious that, as far as sexuality is concerned, the yogic conception does not propose inaction as a goal at all costs."

It is clear that although they had previously stated that brahmacharya-asceticism is achieved by "doing everything possible through certain yoga techniques", they now call this "inaction".

And then, "Since in most cases sexual inaction would even be impossible, sometimes the assumption of it even being harmful to the being, it would be irrational to propose total generalized abstinence as a goal in YOGA."

  So that's how it is with MISA, no one can abstain for fear of "harming the being", and that's why .... Or can't they be "sexually inactive"? Really? 

And we understand that they then proposed "total generalised" continental sexual union as a "goal in YOGA"? Well, in Yoga, is Brahmacharya an end or a means?

But the awesomeness is just beginning: "In this connection, it is worth recalling a few quotations from the famous treatise of the oriental sage BHAGAVAD GITA: 'Allow in yourself no attachment to inaction' (sutra 47, chap. II); "By not abstaining inertly from actions man enjoys non-activity, by not renouncing actions he attains perfection" (sutra 4, ch. III). 

Further KRISHNA insists: "Actions are superior to inactions" (sutra 8, ch. IV). 

The Bhagavad Gita is easy to find as a pdf, but the chapters and sutras are not. Here is the Bhagavad Gita commented by Swami Sivananda:

cap 2, sutra 47: Thy right is to work only, but never with its fruits; let not the fruits of actions be thy motive, nor let thy attachment be to inaction.

COMMENTARY: Actions done with expectation of its rewards bring bondage. If you do not thirst for them, you get purification of heart and ultimately knowledge of the Self.

cap 3, sutra 4:  Not by the non-performance of actions does man reach actionlessness, nor by mere renunciation does he attain to perfection.

COMMENTARY: Even if a man abandons action, his mind may be active. One cannot reach perfection or freedom from action or knowledge of the Self, merely by renouncing action. He must possess knowledge of the Self.

cap 4, sutra 8:  For the protection of the good, for the destruction of the wicked, and for the establishment of righteousness, I am born in every age.

And we still have: "Concerning the practice of continence, the famous treatise "YOGA DARSHANA" mentions in chapter II sutra 37: "Those or those who practice continence acquire great power."

Taken by itself, this statement seems about right. But it is not clear from the context whether "continence" here actually means "sexual continence", or more precisely "sexual continence union". I'll pass this on and look for a pdf for YOGA DARSHANA on the net:

And now the surprise: in Chapter 3, there is no Sutra 37, there are only 17 sutras. There is nothing about brahmacharya in Sutra 3.17. There is nothing about brahmacharya in Chapter 3, and there is nothing about brahmacharya in the whole work!
