बुद्धियुक्तो जहातीह उभे सुकृतदुष्कृते | तस्माद्योगाय युज्यस्व योगः कर्मसु कौशलम्
buddhiyukto jahātīha ubhe sukṛtaduṣkṛte . tasmādyogāya yujyasva yogaḥ karmasu kauśalam
具備智慧者,在此世捨棄善惡二業。因此,致力於(業)瑜伽吧!瑜伽是行動中的技巧。
Possessed of wisdom, one rejects here both virtue and vice. Therefore devote yourself to (Karma-) yoga. Yoga is skilfulness in action.
懷著對果報的動機所做的行動,只會束縛一個人。它將帶來果報,而行動者將不得不再次投生於這個凡塵世界來享受它們。如果行動是以平等心(即智慧瑜伽,與純粹的智慧、理智或理性相結合)來執行,心安住於主,那麼它將不會束縛他,也不會帶來任何果報,它根本就不是(會產生束縛的)行動。具有束縛本質的行動,當以心意平等或平衡的理智來執行時,便會失去其束縛本質。擁有平衡理智的瑜伽士,將所有行動歸因於內在的神聖行動者(自在主或神)。
Work performed with motive towards fruits only can bind a man. It will bring the fruits and the performer of the action will have to take birth again in this mortal world to enjoy them. If work is performed with evennes of mind (the Yoga of wisdom? i.e.? united to pure Buddhi? intelligence or reason) with the mind resting in the Lord? it will not bind him it will not bring any fruit it is no work at all. Actions which are of a binding nature lose that nature when performed with eanimity of mind? or poised reason. The Yogi of poised reason attributes all actions to the Divine Actor within (Isvara or God).
