プラクリティ(自然)のグナ(属性)によって完全に惑わされた人々は、グナのカルマ(行為)に執着する。すべてを知る者は、すべてを知らない鈍い知性を持つ人々を動揺させるべきではない。
Those who are wholly deluded by the gunas of Nature become attached to the activities of the gunas. The knower of the All should not disturb those of dull intellect, who do not know the All.
無知な人々は成果を期待して行動します。アートマン(真我)の知識を持つ賢者は、そのような無知な人々の信仰や確信、信念を乱すべきではありません。もし彼らの心を動揺させれば、彼らは行動を放棄し、惰性の犠牲となるでしょう。賢者は、最初はサカーマ・カルマ(成果を目的とした行動)を行うよう彼らを励ますべきです。賢者は、カルマ・ヨーガ(無私の、欲望のない行動のヨーガ)とその恩恵、すなわちアートマン実現へと導く心の浄化について、段階的な教えを与えることで、無知な人々の心を向かせるべきです。
The ignorant people do action with the expectation of fruits. The wise people who have the knowledge of the Self should not distract the faith or conviction or belief of such ignorant persons. If they unsettle their minds they will give up actions and become victims of inertia. They will lead an idle life. They should be encouraged by the wise to do actions of the Sakama type (actions for the sake of their fruits) in the beginning. The wise ones should turn the minds of the ignorant by giving them gradual instructions on Karma Yoga (Yoga of selfless? desireless action) and its benefits? viz.? purification of the heart that leads to the attainment of Selfrealisation.
