Chapter 2
Sankhya Yoga

51. Renouncing the fruits of action and united in intelligence, the (wise) thinkers, released from the bondage of birth, reach the sorrowless state.
Bhashya :- The solution has been spoken in this verse. Performance of actions by renouncing the fruits (thereof), offering them to the Lord without desiring anything, being united in intelligence and having all-comprehensive wisdom, he attains the (Supreme) stage. Performing equanimous actions is the means for Wisdom is the means for deliverance. This is the purport.
52 - 53. When your Intelligence crosses over the delusion (contrary to scriptures), then you acquire the benefit of those who have listened or not Listened the scriptures. When your intelligence, which is confused by the Vedic texts, shall stand unshaken and equanimous in intellect, then you shall attain communion.
'Bhashya :-'Bold text The reply to the question how far such actions are necessary for a person keen for deliverance is contained in this verse. निर्वेदम् means complete indifference. Normally it is said, „तस्माद ब्राह्मण: पाण्डित्यं निवेद्य....' - therefore, a Brahmin acquiring wisdom should remain as a child, as it were. There, the word renunciation has not been suggested.
