Chapter 2
Sankhya Yoga
50. Having yoked his intelligence (to discrimination) he discards even here both the merits and demerits. Therefore, yon strive for such Wisdom. For, such equanimity (yogah) is excellence is action.
Bhashya :- Sri Krishna speaks of बुद्धियुक्त, yoking one's intelligence as the fruits of wisdom in this verse. Such one discards merits from primordial life even though pleasant, not those superior merits, born out of meditation. „His actions do not degenerate‟. „In the world of ignorance, whoever does sacrifices, charity, and austerity even for thousand years, they all become useless‟, thus in many scriptures. Hence, the ignorant is known to lose power of his actions. Scriptures also declare that both (merit and demerits) are destroyed, if (the actions have reference) to undesirable object, the proper merits get destroyed; it is not of any use. There comes no destruction of proper merits for the man of wisdom. Because some objects appear desirable (even in deliverance). If the man of wisdom desires the world of the ancestors, by his very wish, the ancestors stand before him. „I will enter the assembly of Prajaapati‟, „I will be successful among the Brahmins‟, „In the company of women I will travel‟, „Even the impossible things which the (delivered) Self desires, those he creates‟, Having desires, acquires the desired forms‟, „He (the delivered soul) becomes of one form‟, these, from different Scriptures.
