सर्वकर्माणि मनसा संन्यस्यास्ते सुखं वशी | नवद्वारे पुरे देही नैव कुर्वन्न कारयन्
sarvakarmāṇi manasā saṃnyasyāste sukhaṃ vaśī . navadvāre pure dehī naiva kurvanna kārayan
自制者心意上捨棄一切行動,安樂地居於九門之城中的有身者,既不行動亦不使人行動。
The embodied man of self-control, having given up all actions mentally, continues happily in the town of nine gates, without doing or causing (others) to do anything at all.
「一切行動」包括:(1) 恆常義務(Nitya Karmas),其履行不產生功德,但不履行則產生過失。(2) 偶發義務(Naimittika Karmas),在特殊事件發生時履行。(3) 隨意行動(Kamya Karmas),旨在達成特定目的。(4) 禁忌行動(Nishiddha Karmas),如偷竊、飲酒等。(5) 懺悔行動(Prayaschitta Karmas),旨在抵消惡業。自制者透過辨別,在行動中看見無行動,捨棄一切行動,安樂地居於這個有九個開口(九門之城)的身體中,因為他擺脫了憂慮、煩惱、焦慮和恐懼,心靈極其平靜,享受著永恆的至高平和。在這九門之城中,自性(Self)是君王,感官、心意、潛意識和理智是居民或臣民。無知的世俗之人說:「我正躺在安樂椅上。」而體悟到自性與由五大元素組成的身體截然不同的智者則說:「我正安住於這個身體中。」
All actions -- (1) Nitya Karmas These are obligatory duties. Their performance does not produce any merit but their nonperformance produces demerit. Sandhyavandana? etc.? belong to this category.(2) Naimittika Karmas These Karmas are performed on the occurrence of some special events such as the birth of a son? eclipse? etc.(3) Kamya Karmas These are optional. They are intended for the attainment of some special ends (for getting rain? son? etc.)(4) Nishiddha Karmas These are forbidden actions such as theft? drinking liour? etc.(5) Prayaschitta Karmas Actions performed to neutralise the effects of evil actions or sins.The man who has controlled the senses renounces all actions by discrimination? by seeing inaction in action and rests happily in this body of nine openings (the ninegated city)? because he is free from cares? worries? anxieties and fear and his mind is ite calm and he enjoys the supreme peace of the Eternal. In this ninegated city the Self is the king. The senses? the mind? the subconscious mind? and the intellect are the inhabitants or subjects.The ignorant wordly man says? I am resting in the easychair. The man of wisdom who has realised that the Self is distinct from the body which is a product of the five elements? says? I am resting in this body. (Cf.XVIII.17?50)
