ज्ञेयः स नित्यसंन्यासी यो न द्वेष्टि न काङ्क्षति | निर्द्वन्द्वो हि महाबाहो सुखं बन्धात्प्रमुच्यते
jñeyaḥ sa nityasaṃnyāsī yo na dveṣṭi na kāṅkṣati . nirdvandvo hi mahābāho sukhaṃ bandhātpramucyate
不憎恨亦不欲求者,應被視為恆常的捨棄者。大臂者啊!脫離二元對立之人,確能輕易從束縛中解脫。
He who does not hate and does not crave should be known as a man of constant renunciation.
一個人不會僅僅因為懶惰、無知、家庭糾紛、災難或失業而放棄行動,就成為一個「捨棄者」(Sannyasi)。一個真正的「捨棄者」不是一個虛偽的懦夫。那不憎恨痛苦及帶來痛苦之物,亦不欲求快樂及帶來快樂之物,對任何感官對象既無執著亦無厭惡,且已超越冷熱、苦樂、成敗、勝敗、得失、褒貶、榮辱等二元對立的「業瑜伽士」(Karma Yogi),應被視為一個永恆的「捨棄者」(Sannyasi),儘管他恆常投入於行動之中。一個人無需正式出家,但若他具備上述心態,他便是一個永恆的「捨棄者」。僅僅穿著袈裟並不能使人成為「捨棄者」。所需要的是一顆純潔的心,真正捨棄自我主義和慾望。物質上的捨棄根本不是真正的捨棄。(參見《薄伽梵歌》第六章第1節)
A man does not become a Sannyasi by merely giving up actions because of laziness or ignorance or some family arrel or calamity or unemployment. A true Sannyasi is not a hypocritical coward.The Karma Yogi who neither hates pain and the objects which give him pain? nor desires pleasure and the objects that give him pleasure? who has neither attachment nor aversion to any senseobject and who has risen above the pairs of heat and cold? joy and sorrow? success and failure? victory and defeat? gain and loss? praise and censure? honour and dishonour? should be known as a perpetual Sannyasi though he is ever engaged in action.One need not have taken Sannyasa formally but if he has the above mental attitutde? he is a perpetual Sannyasi. Mere ochrecoloured robe cannot make one a Sannyasi. What is wanted is a pure heart with true renunciation of egoism and desires. Physical renunciation of objects is no renunciation at all. (Cf.VI.1)
