ब्रह्मण्याधाय कर्माणि सङ्गं त्यक्त्वा करोति यः | लिप्यते न स पापेन पद्मपत्रमिवाम्भसा
brahmaṇyādhāya karmāṇi saṅgaṃ tyaktvā karoti yaḥ . lipyate na sa pāpena padmapatramivāmbhasā
将所有行动奉献给梵(Brahman),放弃执着而行动的人,他不为罪恶所染,犹如莲叶不沾水。
One who acts by dedicating actions to Brahman and by renouncing attachment, he does not become polluted by sin, just as a lotus leaf is not by water.
此节经文传达了核心思想:瑜伽行者若无私无我地行动,不执着于行动的结果或果报,并将所有行动视为对主的奉献,便不会被业(Karma)所污染。他甚至对解脱(Moksha)也没有执着,他洞察到行动中的无行动,所有行动都在智慧之火中焚尽,从而摆脱轮回之苦,获得心灵的纯净,并最终通过自我(Atman)的知识而获得解脱。
Chapter IV verses 18? 20? 21? 22? 23? 37? 41 Chapter V verses 10? 11 and 12 all convey the one idea that the Yogi who does actions without egoism and attachment to results or fruits of the actions? which he regards as offerings unto the Lord? is not tainted by the actions (Karma). He has no attachment even for Moksha. He sees inaction in action. All his actions are burnt in the fire of wisdom. He escapes from the wheel of Samsara. He is freed from the round of births and deaths. He gets purity of heart and through purity of heart attains to the knowledge of the Self. Through the knowledge of the Self he is liberated. This is the gist of the above ten verses. (Cf.III.30)
