सुखदुःखे समे कृत्वा लाभालाभौ जयाजयौ | ततो युद्धाय युज्यस्व नैवं पापमवाप्स्यसि
sukhaduḥkhe same kṛtvā lābhālābhau jayājayau . tato yuddhāya yujyasva naivaṃ pāpamavāpsyasi
將苦樂、得失、勝敗視為等同,然後投入戰鬥。如此,你將不會招致罪惡。
Treating happiness and sorrow, gain and loss, and conest and defeat with eanimity, then engage in battle. Thus you will not incur sin.
這便是「等持瑜伽」(Yoga of equanimity),或稱「行動中的平衡之道」。若有人以上述心態或平衡的心境行事,他將不會收穫其行動的果報。這樣的行動將導向心靈的淨化,並從生死輪迴中解脫。人必須透過持續的奮鬥和警覺的努力來培養這種平衡的心境。
This is the Yoga of eanimity or the doctrine of poise in action. If anyone does any action with the above mental attitude or balanced state of mind he will not reap the fruits of his action. Such an action will lead to the purification of his heart and freedom from birth and death. One has to develop such a balanced state of mind through continous struggle and vigilant efforts.
