薄伽梵歌 4.22

聖者對不期而至之物感到完全滿足。在第4章第18、19、20、21、22和23節中，僅是重申超越行動的「我」之知識的結果。聖者將自己與無行動的「我」認同，因此不受束縛，因為將人束縛於生死輪迴的行動及其原因，已在「我」之知識或梵智（BrahmaJnana）的火焰中焚盡。正如被火燒過的種子無法發芽，同樣地，被「我」之知識的火焰焚盡的業（Karma）或行動，也無法產生未來的誕生。普通人看到聖者有所行動時，會認為他也是一個行動者、一個行為者，因此會被束縛。這是一個錯誤。從他自己的觀點來看，事實上，他根本不是一個行為者。他實際上根本沒有做任何行動。他感覺並說：「我什麼都沒做。自然界或自然界的三種屬性（Gunas）做了一切。」他不受冷熱、苦樂、成敗的影響，因為他始終保持平衡的心態。他甚至不執著於維持身體所需的事物。無論他是否獲得食物和其他維持身體所需之物，他既不體驗快樂也不體驗痛苦。原因是他安住於其本質，即「存在-知識-至樂」（SatchidanandaSvarupa），他正暢游於至樂的海洋中。因此，他不在乎自己的身體及其需求。

The sage is ite satisfied with what comes to him by chance. In verses IV. 18? 19? 20? 22? 22 and 23 there is only a reiteration of the results of the knowledge of the Self which is beyond action. The sage who identifies himself with the actionless Self is not bound as action and its cause which bind one to the round of birth and death have been burnt in the fire of the knowledge of the Self or BrahmaJnana. Just as a seed burnt in the fire cannot germinate? so also the Karmas or actions burnt by the fire of knowledge of the Self cannot produce future birth.Ordinary people think that the sage is also a doer of actions? an agent? active and therefore bound? when they see him doing actions. This is a mistake. From his own point of view and? in truth? he is not an agent at all. He really does no action at all. He feels and says? I do nothing at all. Nature does or the three alities of Nature do everything.He is not affected by heat and cold? pleasure and pain? success and failure? as he always has a balanced state of mind. He is not attached even to the things which are necessary for the bare maintenance of his body. He experiences neither pleasure nor pain? whether or not he obtains food and the other things which are reired for the maintenance of his body. The reason is that he is resting in his essential nature as ExistenceKnowledgeBliss Absolute (SatchidanandaSvarupa) he is swimming in the ocean of bliss. So he does not care for his body and its needs.
