न बुद्धिभेदं जनयेदज्ञानां कर्मसङ्गिनाम् | जोषयेत्सर्वकर्माणि विद्वान्युक्तः समाचरन्
na buddhibhedaṃ janayedajñānāṃ karmasaṅginām . joṣayetsarvakarmāṇi vidvānyuktaḥ samācaran
賢者は、カルマ(行為)に執着する無知な人々の信念を乱すべきではない。賢者は自らヨーガに専心し、すべての義務を遂行しながら、彼らにもすべての義務を行わせるべきである。
The enlightened man should not create disturbance in the beliefs of the ignorant, who are attached to work. Working, while himself remaining deligen [Some translate yuktah as, 'in the right manner'. S. takes it in the sense of Yoga-yuktah, merged in yoga.-Tr.], he should make them do [Another reading is yojayet, meaning the same as josayet.-Tr.] all the duties.
無知な者は心の中で『この行動をして、その成果を楽しむだろう』と考えます。賢者はその信念を揺るがすべきではありません。それどころか、賢者自身が、執着なく勤勉に義務を果たすことで模範を示すべきです。賢者はまた、無知な人々に決して義務を怠らないよう説得すべきです。必要であれば、そのような義務を果たすことで、現世と来世で享受する幸福を鮮やかに示すべきです。時が経ち、彼らの心が浄化されたとき、賢者は彼らの中にカルマ・ヨーガ(欲望のない無私の奉仕)の種を蒔くことができるでしょう。
An ignorant may says to himelf? I shall do this action and thery enjoy its fruit. A wise man should not unsettle his belief. On the contrary he himself should set an example by performing his duties diligently but without attachment. The wise man should also persuade the ignorant never to neglect their duties. If need be? he should place before them in vivid colours the happiness they would enjoy here and hereafter by discharging such duties. When their hearts get purified in course of time? the wise man could sow the seeds of Karma Yoga (selfless service without deire) in them.
