Release
10. The relinquisher imbued with sattva, who is enlightened and free from doubts, hates not evil action nor is he attached to good action. As the clouds appear and become dissolved in the sky, so whatever actions, good or bad, that he has to perform as a result of his past actions, are purified by his vision and so they are incapable of ensnaring him with pleasure and pain. He does not consider any action as auspicious or inauspicious and performs it without a feeling of joy or hate, as the case may be. He has no misgiving regarding such actions, as one does not doubt about the unreality of things seen in a dream on waking up (211-215). He, therefore, does not entertain a sense of duality between the action done and its doer. Then it is known as a sattvic tyaga. If actions are relinquished in this way, they are relinquished entirely. If they are relinquished in any other way, they bring about greater bondage. |
