दूरेण ह्यवरं कर्म बुद्धियोगाद्धनञ्जय | बुद्धौ शरणमन्विच्छ कृपणाः फलहेतवः
dūreṇa hyavaraṃ karma buddhiyogāddhanañjaya . buddhau śaraṇamanviccha kṛpaṇāḥ phalahetavaḥ
ダナンジャヤよ、実際、行為はブッディ・ヨガ(智慧のヨガ)に比べればはるかに劣る。智慧に帰依せよ。果報を求める者は哀れな者である。
O Dhananjaya, indeed, action is ite inferior to the yoga of wisdom. Take resort to wisdom. Those who thirst for rewards are pitiable.
心の平静さをもって行われる行為こそが智慧のヨガです。智慧のヨガに確立されたヨーギーは、成功や失敗に影響されることなく、行為の果報を求めません。彼は平衡の取れた理性(ブッディ)を持ち、その理性は自己に根ざしています。行為の果報を期待して行われる行為は、果報を求めない智慧のヨガに比べてはるかに劣ります。なぜなら、前者は束縛へと導き、生と死の原因となるからです。
Action done with evenness of mind is Yoga of wisdom. The yogi who is established in the Yoga of widdom is not affected by success or failure. He does not seek fruits of his actions. He has poised reason. His reason is rooted in the Self. Action performed by one who expects fruits for his actions? is far inferior to the Yoga of wisdom wherein the seeker does not seek fruits because the former leads to bondage and is the cause of birth and death. (Cf.VIII.18).
