न हि देहभृता शक्यं त्यक्तुं कर्माण्यशेषतः | यस्तु कर्मफलत्यागी स त्यागीत्यभिधीयते
na hi dehabhṛtā śakyaṃ tyaktuṃ karmāṇyaśeṣataḥ . yastu karmaphalatyāgī sa tyāgītyabhidhīyate
對於一個執持身體的眾生而言,要完全捨棄所有行為是不可能的;因此,那捨棄行為果報的人,才被稱為「捨棄者」(Tyagi)。
Since it is not possible for one who holds on to a body to give up actions entirely, therefore he, on the other hand, who renounces results on actions is called a man of renunciation.
一個已經獲得人身卻抱怨必須履行行為的人,確實是個傻瓜。難道火這種以熱為其自然屬性的東西,會想到要擺脫它嗎?只要你活在這個身體裡,你就無法完全捨棄行為。主(奎師那)對亞爾諸那說:「沒有人,即使片刻,能保持無為,因為每個人都被自然(Prakriti)所生的德性(Gunas)無助地驅使去行動。」(參閱《薄伽梵歌》第三章第五節)自然(以及你自己的本性)會促使你行動。你必須捨棄行為者(agency)的觀念和行為的果報。這樣你就會非常安全。任何行為都不會束縛你。無知之人,將自己與身體認同,並認為自己是所有行為的執行者,不應捨棄行為。對他而言,完全捨棄行為是不可能的。他必須履行所有規定的職責,同時捨棄其果報。「執身者」(Dehabhrita)指身體的穿戴者,一個有形體的眾生,即將自己與身體認同的人。一個能分辨真實與不真實、永恆與無常的人,不能被稱為「執身者」,因為他認為自己不是行為的執行者——參閱第二章第二十一節:「那知曉祂是不可毀滅、永恆、無生、不減者——亞爾諸那啊,那人如何能殺戮,或使人殺戮?」當有資格行動的無知之人履行規定的職責,捨棄對其行為果報的慾望時,他被稱為「捨棄者」(Tyagi),儘管他仍在行動。這個「捨棄者」的稱號是出於禮貌而賦予他的。完全捨棄所有行為,只有對於已經證悟「自性」(Self)的人才可能,因此他不是「執身者」,即不認為身體是「自性」。(參閱《薄伽梵歌》第三章第五節)
He who has assumed a human body and yet grumbles at having to perform actions is verily a fool. Can fire that is endowed with heat as its natural property ever think of getting rid of it So long as you are living in this body you cannot entirely relinish action. Lord Krishna says to Arjuna Nor can anyone? even for an instant remain actionless for helplessly is everyone driven to action by the alities born of Nature (Cf.III.5). Nature (and your own nature? too) will urge you to do actions. You will have to abandon the idea of agency and the fruits of actions. Then you are ite safe. No action will bind you.The ignorant man who identifies himself with the body and who thinks that he is himself the doer of all actions should not abandon actions. It is impossible for him to relinish actions. He will have to perform all the prescribed duties while relinishing their fruits.Dehabhrita A wearer of the body An embodied being? i.e.? he who identifies himself with the body. A man who has discrimination between the Real and the unreal? the Eternal and the transient? cannot be called a bodywearer? because he does not think that he is the doer of actions -- vide chapter II.21 (He who knows Him Who is indestructible? eternal? unborn? undiminishing -- how can that man slay? O Arjuna? or cause to be slain).When the ignorant man who is alified for action does the prescribed duties? relinishing the desire for the fruits of his actions? he is called a Tyagi? although he is active. This title Tyagi is given to him for the sake of courtesy.The relinishment of all actions is possible only for him who has attained Selfrealisation and who is? therefore? not a wearer of the body? i.e.? does not hink that the body is the Self. (Cf.III.5)
