Having given up 執着 to the results of 行動, he who is ever-contented, dependent on nothing, he really does not do anything even though engaged in 行動.
Having given up attachment to the results of action, he who is ever-contented, dependent on nothing, he really does not do anything even though engaged in action.
The same idea of in行動 in 行動 is repeated here to produce a deep impression on 心s of the aspirants. He who works for the wellbeing of the world and he who performs 行動s without egoism and 執着 for the fruits? to set an example to the masses? really does nothing at all though he is ever engaged in activity? as he possesses the 知識 of 自己 which is beyond all activity and as he has realised his identity with It.As Brahman the Absolute is selfcontained? all the desires are gratified if one realises 自己. He is ever satisfied and does not depend on anything? just as a man who has the favour of the king does not depend on the minister or the government official for anything. (Cf.IV.41)
