Shri Sankara's Gita Bhashya
(Sri Sankaracharya's Commentary on the Gita)
CHAPTER -18
"But he who knows the Truth...., recognising that gunas (merely) act on gunas, does not become attached"[1] "Havillg renounced all actions by the mind, rests".... "The lenower of Truth, (being) centred (in the Self) should think, 'I do nothing...."[2], meaning that it is (only) the un-enhghtened man who thinks that he is the agent; "For the muni who wishes to attain to yoga, work is said to be the means; for the same person when he has attained to yoga, inaction (śama) is said to be the means"[3]; "Noble indeed are all these (three), though not illumined; but the wise man I regard as My very Self"[4]; "The un-enlightened who perform actions, desiring desires, they come and go".[5]; "Those persons who meditate on Me as non-separate, everdevoted", worship (Me) the Self, pure as the ākāśa.[6]; |
