yuktaḥ karma phalaṃ tyaktvā śāntim-āpnoti naiṣṭhikīm | Commentary'The centered one' — is one who is centered upon the Self and has no hankering for anything else, being exclusively devoted to the Self. If a person renounces the fruits of actions and performs actions merely for the purpose of self-purification, everlasting peace will be obtained, which is the lasting experience of the ātman. 'The unsteady one' — is one who is inclined towards material goals rather than Self-realization. Being impelled by desire, one becomes motivated by rewards and attached to the results of actions which keep one bound forever — in other words one becomes perpetually involved in the transmigratory cycle. The gist is this;— being free of attachment to results, attributing one's actions to Material Nature from which the senses have arisen, one should perform actions merely to free oneself from bondage. |
