प्रकृत्यैव च कर्माणि क्रियमाणानि सर्वशः | यः पश्यति तथात्मानमकर्तारं स पश्यति
prakṛtyaiva ca karmāṇi kriyamāṇāni sarvaśaḥ . yaḥ paśyati tathātmānamakartāraṃ sa paśyati
并且,他见到一切行为皆由原质(Prakriti)自身以各种方式完成,并且见到真我(Atman)是无为者——他才是真正的见者。
And he who sees actions as being done in various ways by Nature itself, and also the Self as the non-agent,-he sees.
真正的智者认识到,所有行动都是由原质(Prakriti)及其三性(Guna)所驱动和完成的,而真我(Atman)本身是无为的旁观者。这种洞察力使他摆脱了行动者的幻觉,从而获得解脱。
Nature is responsible for all activities. The Self is beyond all action. It is the silent witness only. He who experiences thus is the real seer or sage.He who knows that all actions proceeding from the five organs of knowledge? the five organs of action? the mind and the intellect are prompted by Nature and that the Self is actionless? really sees. He alone sees. He who identifies himself with the body? the mind and the senses and foolishly thinks that the Self is the actor is an ignorant man. He sees only with the physical eyes. He has no inner eye of intuition. The sky remains motionless but the clouds move across the sky. Even so the Self is actionless but Nature does everythin. The Self is destitute of any limiting adjunct. Just as there is no variety in ether? so also there is no variety in the Self. It is one homogeneous essence. It is free from any kind of characteristics. (Cf.III.27XIV.19XVIII.16)
