सहजं कर्म कौन्तेय सदोषमपि न त्यजेत् | सर्वारम्भा हि दोषेण धूमेनाग्निरिवावृताः
sahajaṃ karma kaunteya sadoṣamapi na tyajet . sarvārambhā hi doṣeṇa dhūmenāgnirivāvṛtāḥ
哦,昆提之子,人不可放弃与生俱来的职责,即使它有缺陷。因为一切事业都为缺陷所笼罩,如同火焰为烟雾所遮蔽。
O son of Kunti, one should not give up the duty to which one is born, even though it be faulty. For all undertakings are surrounded with evil, as fire is with smoke.
Sahajam(萨哈詹)意指与生俱来,随人的诞生而生。Sadosham(萨多沙姆)意指有缺陷,因为万事万物皆由三古纳斯(Gunas)构成。一切事业,包括自己的和别人的职责。如果吠舍(Vaisya)或刹帝利(Kshatriya)履行婆罗门(Brahmana)的职责,他将不会从中受益。他人的职责会带来恐惧。因此,履行他人的职责是不恰当的。对于任何不了解真我(Atman)的人来说,完全放弃行动是不可能的,因此他不应放弃行动。
Sahajam Born with oneself born with the birth of man.Sadosham Faculty for everything is constituted of the three Gunas.All undertakings Ones own as well as others duties.If a Vaisya or a Kshatriya does the duties of a Brahmana he will not in any way be benefited. Anothers duty brings in fear. Therefore it is not proper to perform anothers duty. It is not possible for any man who has no knowledge of the Self to relinish action totally therefore he should not abandon action.
