sarvakarmāṇi manasā saṃnyasyāste sukhaṃ vaśī . navadvāre pure dehī naiva kurvanna kārayan
Der verkörperte, selbstbeherrschte Mensch, der alle Handlungen gedanklich aufgegeben hat, verweilt glücklich in der Stadt der neun Tore, weder selbst handelnd noch andere handeln lassend.
The embodied man of self-control, having given up all actions mentally, continues happily in the town of nine gates, without doing or causing (others) to do anything at all.
Der Mensch, der seine Sinne beherrscht, entsagt durch Unterscheidung allen Handlungen, indem er Untätigkeit in der Tätigkeit sieht. Er ruht glücklich in diesem Körper der neun Öffnungen (der neuntorigen Stadt), frei von Sorgen, Ängsten und Furcht, sein Geist ist völlig ruhig, und er genießt den höchsten Frieden des Ewigen.
All actions -- (1) Nitya Karmas These are obligatory duties. Their performance does not produce any merit but their nonperformance produces demerit. Sandhyavandana? etc.? belong to this category.(2) Naimittika Karmas These Karmas are performed on the occurrence of some special events such as the birth of a son? eclipse? etc.(3) Kamya Karmas These are optional. They are intended for the attainment of some special ends (for getting rain? son? etc.)(4) Nishiddha Karmas These are forbidden actions such as theft? drinking liour? etc.(5) Prayaschitta Karmas Actions performed to neutralise the effects of evil actions or sins.The man who has controlled the senses renounces all actions by discrimination? by seeing inaction in action and rests happily in this body of nine openings (the ninegated city)? because he is free from cares? worries? anxieties and fear and his mind is ite calm and he enjoys the supreme peace of the Eternal. In this ninegated city the Self is the king. The senses? the mind? the subconscious mind? and the intellect are the inhabitants or subjects.The ignorant wordly man says? I am resting in the easychair. The man of wisdom who has realised that the Self is distinct from the body which is a product of the five elements? says? I am resting in this body. (Cf.XVIII.17?50)
