अथैतदप्यशक्तोऽसि कर्तुं मद्योगमाश्रितः | सर्वकर्मफलत्यागं ततः कुरु यतात्मवान्

Wenn du selbst dies nicht tun kannst, dann, indem du Zuflucht zu Meinem Yoga genommen hast, entsage danach den Früchten aller Handlungen, indem du selbstbeherrscht wirst.
If you are unable to do even this, in that case, having resorted to the Yoga for Me, thereafter renounce the results of all works by becoming controlled in mind.
Dies ist der einfachste Pfad: Wenn du nicht in der Lage bist, Handlungen für Mich zu verrichten, dann führe deine Handlungen (auch aus persönlichen Wünschen) aus, entsage aber den Früchten aller Handlungen und praktiziere dabei Selbstbeherrschung. Dieser Vers beschreibt eine Hierarchie der Yoga-Pfade: Meditation, beständige Übung, Handlungen für den Herrn und schließlich die Entsagung der Handlungsfrüchte. 'Madyogam' bedeutet hier, alle Handlungen und ihre Früchte dem Herrn zu übergeben.
This is the easiest path. If thou art unable to perform actions for My sake? if thou canst not even be intent on My service? if thou art unable to practise the Bhagavata Dharmas? if thous wishest to do actions impelled by personal desires? then do thou perform them (for your sake from a sense of duty) renouncing them all in Me and also abandon the fruits of all actions? at the same time practising selfcontrol.In verse 8 the Yoga of meditation is prescribed for advanced students in verse 9 the Yoga of constant practice if one finds that? too? to be difficult? the performance of actions for the sake of the Lord alone has been taught in verse 10 and those who cannot do even this are asked to abandon the fruits of all actions.Madyogam My Yoga. Surrendering all actions and their fruits to Me is My Yoga.Yatatmavan The man of discrimination who has controlled all the senses? who has withdrawn the senses from sound? touch? form? taste and smell.Now the Lord eulogises the renunciation of the fruits of all actions in order to encourage the aspirants to practise the Yoga of renunciation of the fruits of actions.
