CHAPTER 4 Elucidation of The Deed of Yagya त्यक्त्वा कर्मफलासंगं नित्यतृप्तो निराश्रय:। कर्मण्यभिप्रवृत्तोऽपि नैव किंचित्करोति स: ॥20॥ [ ‘‘Independent of the world, ever contented, and renouncing all attachment to action as well as its fruits, such a man is free from action even while he is engaged in it. ’’ ] Declining to rest upon objects of the world, utterly contented with dwelling in the eternal God, and discarding not only desire for the fruits of action but even attachment to God because now he is not removed from Him, this sage is a non-doer even while he is diligently employed in the performance of action. निराशीर्यतचित्तात्मा त्यक्तसर्वपरिग्रह:। शारीरं केवलं कर्म कुर्वतन्नाप्नोपि किल्बिषम् ॥21॥ [ “He who has conquered his mind and senses, and given up all objects of sensual pleasure, does not partake of sin even when his body seems to be engaged in action.’’ ] It is only the physical body of the man, who has overcome both his mind and senses, renounced all objects of worldly enjoyment, and achieved total freedom from desire, that seems to be engaged in action, whereas, in truth, he does nothing, and that is why he does not incur sin. He is perfect and so he is emancipated from the cycle of birth and death.
