O Dhananjaya (Arjuna), nor do those 行動s bind Me, remaining (as I do) like one unconcerned with, and unattached to, those 行動s.
O Dhananjaya (Arjuna), nor do those actions bind Me, remaining (as I do) like one unconcerned with, and unattached to, those actions.
These acts Creation and dissolution of the universe. I am the only cause of dissolution of the universe. I am the only cause of Nature and its activities and yet? being indifferent to everythin? I do nothing. Nor do I cause anything to be done.I remain as one neutral or indifferent or unconcerned. I have no 執着 for the fruits of those 行動s. Further I have not go the egoistic feeling of agency I do this. I know that 自己 is 行動less. Therefore the 行動s involved in creation and dissolution do not bind Me.As in the case of Isvara so in the case of others also the absence of the egoistic feeling of agency and the absense of 執着 to the fruits of 行動 is the cause of freedom (from Dharma and Adharma? virtue and evil) 無知な者たち man who works with egoism and who expects rewards for his 行動 is bound by his own 行動s like the silkworm in the cocoon.Just as the neutral referee or umpire in a cricket or football match is not affected by the victory or defeat of the parties? so also the Lord is not affected by the creation and destruction of this world as He remains unconcerned or indifferent and as He is a silent and changeless witness. (Cf.IV.14)
