除非为祭祀(Yajna)而行之业,世人皆为行动所束缚。贡蒂之子啊,因此,你当无执著地为祂而行动。
This man becomes bound by actions other than that action meant for God. Without being attached, O son of Kunti, you perform actions for Him.
克里希那主解释说,为自私目的而进行的行动会束缚一个人于业报轮回,但那些作为对神圣的奉献或祭祀(Yajna),且无执著地进行的行动,则能导向解脱。
Yajna means sacrifice or religious rite or any unselfish action done with a pure motive. It means also Isvara. The Taittiriya Samhita (of the Veda) says Yajna verily is Vishnu (174). If anyone does actions for the sake of the Lord? he is not bound. His heart is purified by performing actions for the sake of the Lord. Where this spirit of unselfishness does not govern the action? it will bind one to Samsara however good or glorious it may be. (Cf.II.48).
