न बुद्धिभेदं जनयेदज्ञानां कर्मसङ्गिनाम् | जोषयेत्सर्वकर्माणि विद्वान्युक्तः समाचरन्
na buddhibhedaṃ janayedajñānāṃ karmasaṅginām . joṣayetsarvakarmāṇi vidvānyuktaḥ samācaran
智者不應動搖那些執著於行動的無知之人的信念。他應當在自己保持專注(瑜伽相應)的同時,履行所有職責,並使他們也履行所有職責。
The enlightened man should not create disturbance in the beliefs of the ignorant, who are attached to work. Working, while himself remaining deligen [Some translate yuktah as, 'in the right manner'. S. takes it in the sense of Yoga-yuktah, merged in yoga.-Tr.], he should make them do [Another reading is yojayet, meaning the same as josayet.-Tr.] all the duties.
無知之人可能會對自己說:「我將做這個行動,然後享受它的果報。」智者不應動搖他的信念。相反地,智者應當透過勤奮地履行職責,但無所執著,來樹立榜樣。智者也應當勸說無知之人永不忽視他們的職責。如果需要,他應當生動地向他們描繪,透過履行這些職責,他們今生和來世將會享受到的幸福。當他們的心靈隨著時間的推移而得到淨化時,智者就可以在他們心中播下羯磨瑜伽(無私、無欲的服務)的種子。
An ignorant may says to himelf? I shall do this action and thery enjoy its fruit. A wise man should not unsettle his belief. On the contrary he himself should set an example by performing his duties diligently but without attachment. The wise man should also persuade the ignorant never to neglect their duties. If need be? he should place before them in vivid colours the happiness they would enjoy here and hereafter by discharging such duties. When their hearts get purified in course of time? the wise man could sow the seeds of Karma Yoga (selfless service without deire) in them.
