Chapter 14
udasinavadasino gunairyo na vicalyate
guns vartanta ityeva yo'vatisthati negate
He who like one unconcerned, is not moved by the modes of nature and established in the self remains apathetic without wavering, knows, that it is only the modes, that act. 23
Comment:-
Udasinavadasinah:- When two persons fight, he who sides with either is called, partial. He who is just, to both is a mediator, while 'Udasina' is he, who sees the two but has an attitude of indifference, towards either of the two. From the view point of a realized soul, who has risen above the three guns, there is no existence of the world, except God. He himself has merged in God. So to whom should he be indifferent? Therefore, no question of his being indifferent, arises. But to common people, he seems indifferent to the world. That state is described as 'Udasinavaf.
Gunairyu na vicatyate:-The propensities of modes of goodness, passion, and ignorance, appear in his mind but he is not moved, by these. He is unconcerned, as he remains when those propensities come to the minds of others, because he perceives that nothing exists, besides the Lord.
Guga vartanta ityeva yo'vatitlhati:- He remains, fixed in the self, by understanding that it is the modes, which are acting, on the modes (Gita 3128).
Nengate:- A person, who rises above the three modes of nature, does not perform any action himself, because in the imperishable pure self, there is no activity.
In the above-mentioned two verses, the Lord has described - the attitude of indifference and untaintedness of the person, who has transcended, the modes of nature.]
