Srimad Bhagavad Gita -Ramanujacharya
Chapter-5 Karma Sanyāsa Yogaḥ
brahmaṇyādāya karmāṇi saṅgaṃ tyaktvā karoti yaḥ | CommentaryHere the term Brahman denotes Material Nature (Prakrti), because later on Krishna will say:— 'The great Brahman is My womb' [1]. Prakrti acts through the senses which are its particular modifications, therefore one who understands that all actions arise from Brahman (Prakrti), renounces all attachment while engaging in every action — such a person, though being in contact with Material Nature (Prakrti), is not contaminated by karma which is dependant upon the erroneous identification of the Self with the body (Prakrti) and this {identification] is the cause of bondage. Just as a lotus leaf is not dampened by water, unskilful actions do not affect or defile one with negative karma, if one is free from such identification with the body. |
