udāsīnavadāsīno guṇairyo na vicālyate . guṇā vartanta ityevaṃ yo.avatiṣṭhati neṅgate
Тот, кто, сидя как беспристрастный, не колеблется гунами; кто, зная, что гуны действуют, остаётся непоколебимым и не движется.
He who, sitting like one indifferent, is not distracted by the three alities; he who, thinking that the alities alone act, remains firm and surely does not move;
Такой мудрец пребывает в состоянии нейтральности, свободный от привязанностей и отвращений. Он подобен зрителю, наблюдающему за игрой гун, которые проявляются как тело, чувства и объекты чувств. Он не отклоняется от пути Самореализации, твёрдо осознавая, что гуны действуют сами по себе, и остаётся непоколебимым в своём истинном Я.
He is seated as a neutral (one who inclines to neither party). He is free from likes and dislikes. He is entirely unconcerned whether the alities with their effects and the body come or go. He is like the spectator at a football or a cricket match or a drama. Just as the sky remains unconcerned when the wind blows? so also he remains ite unconcerned when the alities operate.He does not swerve from the path of Selfrealisation. He treads the path firmly. He thinks and feels The alities are modified into the body? senses and senseobjects. They act and react upon one another? remains unshaken by them. He abides in his own Self and stands firm like the mountain Meru. (Cf.III.28V.8to11)
