Chapter-5 Karma Sanyāsa Yogaḥ

Next, the transference of agency to Prakrti from whence the body has originated, is described: — sarva karmāṇi manasā saṃnyasyāste sukhaṃ vaśī | nava-dvāre pure dehī naiva kurvan-na kārayan || 13 || 13. Mentally renouncing all actions and self-controlled, the embodied ātman, dwells happily in the city of nine gates (i.e., the body), neither acting nor causing the body to act. Commentary The embodied one who is self-controlled, attributes all actions to the city of nine gates,. One rationalizes that all actions are based upon the interconnectedness of the ātman with the body which is the result of previous Karma, and not due its own essential nature. Being master of itself, it [the Self] dwells at ease, being neither mentally active nor causing the body to work.
