那個無執著、無我執、具備堅毅和熱忱,且在成功或失敗中都不受影響的行為者,被稱為悅性(Sattvic)的。
[Ast. introduces this verse with 'Idanim kartrbhedah ucyate, Now is being stated the distinctions among the agents.'-Tr.] The agent who is free from attachment [Attachment to results or the idea of agentship.], not egotistic, endowed with fortitude and diligence, and unperturbed by success and failure is said to be possessed of sattva.
一個悅性(Sattvic)的行為者全心全意地執行他的行為,而不會因其表現而感到驕傲。他會尋找適當的時間和地點,並根據經典的指示來判斷這些行為是否值得做。他培養勇氣和強大的意志。他從不追求物質享受。他完全準備好為崇高的事業犧牲生命。他既不因成功而興奮,也不因失敗而悲傷。他在執行任何行為時,始終保持心境平衡。阿周那(Arjuna)啊,那個在工作時展現這些特質的人,就是一個悅性(Sattvic)的行為者。成功(Siddhi)指行為的成果。不受影響的(Nirvikāraḥ)指僅受經典權威驅使而行動,而非為求回報的慾望所驅動,因此不受影響。現在,阿周那(Arjuna)啊,我將告訴你一個變性(Rajasic)行為者的特徵。
A pure agent does his actions with his whole heart without feeling proud at the performance. He looks for the proper time and place and in accordance with the behests of the scriptures determines whether such actions are worth doing or not. He develops courage and a powerful will. He never seeks physical comforts. He is ite prepared to sacrifice his life for a noble cause. He is neither elated by success nor grieved by failure. He always keeps a balanced mind when he does any action. O Arjuna? that man is a pure agent who? while working? exhibits such alities.Siddhi Success attainment of the fruit of action performed.Nirvikarah Unaffected as having been urged to act merely by the authority of the scriptures? not by a desire for the sake of the reward.Now I will tell thee? O Arjuna? of the characteristics of a passionate agent.
