प्रकृत्यैव च कर्माणि क्रियमाणानि सर्वशः | यः पश्यति तथात्मानमकर्तारं स पश्यति
prakṛtyaiva ca karmāṇi kriyamāṇāni sarvaśaḥ . yaḥ paśyati tathātmānamakartāraṃ sa paśyati
凡見一切行動皆由原質獨自執行,亦見真我為非行動者,方為真見。
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,是那些明白所有行動皆由原質(Prakriti)及其諸德所執行,而真我(Ātman)本身是無為、不參與任何行動的旁觀者。這種洞察力使他們擺脫了「我是行動者」的錯覺,從而解脫於業力的束縛。
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)
