CHAPTER 18
The Yog of Renunciation

रागी कर्मफलप्रेप्सुर्लुब्धो हिंसात्मकोऽशुचि:।
हर्षशोकान्वित: कर्ता राजस: परकीर्तित: ॥27॥

[ ‘‘That doer is said to be of the attribute of passion who Is impulsive, covetous of the fruits of action, acquisitive, pernicious, vitiated, and subject to joy and sorrow.’’ ]

अयुक्त: प्राकृत: स्तब्ध: शठो नैष्कृतिकोऽलस:।
विषादी दीर्घसूत्री च कर्ता तामस उच्यते ॥28॥

[ “That doer is said to be of the attribute of ignorance who is fickle, uncouth, vain, devious, spiteful, dispirited, lazy, and procrastinating.’’ ]

These are the attributes of the ignorant doer. The scrutiny of the qualities of doers is concluded at this point and Yogeshwar Krishn now embarks on an examination of the attributes of judgement (intellect), resolve, (steadfastness) and felicity (happiness).
