CHAPTER 5 The Supreme God : Enjoyer of Yagya कायेन मनसा बुद्धया केवलैरिन्द्रियैरपि । योगिन: कर्म कुर्वन्ति संगं त्यक्त्वात्मशुद्धये ॥11॥ [ “Sages give up the attachment of their senses, mind, intellect and body, and act for inner purification.” ] A sage abandons all desires of his senses, mind, intellect, and body, and practises selfless action for inner sanctity. Does that mean that the Self is tainted with impurities even after he has merged into God? It cannot be so because after this dissolution the Self becomes one with all beings; he sees his own extension in all beings. So he acts, not for himself, but for the purification and guidance of other beings. He acts with his mind, intellect and physical organs, but his Self is in a state of actionlessness and constant peace. He appears to be active outwardly, but inside him there is only endless tranquillity. The rope cannot bind any longer because it is burnt out and what remains is only the impression of its twist.
