श्रीभगवानुवाच | अनाश्रितः कर्मफलं कार्यं कर्म करोति यः | स संन्यासी च योगी च न निरग्निर्न चाक्रियः
śrībhagavānuvāca . anāśritaḥ karmaphalaṃ kāryaṃ karma karoti yaḥ . sa saṃnyāsī ca yogī ca na niragnirna cākriyaḥ
至尊主說:那不依賴行動結果,而履行其應盡之業(karma)者,他才是真正的三亞西(Sannyasi,棄絕者)和瑜伽士(Yogi),而非那些不生火祭或不行動的人。
The Blessed Lord said He who performs an action which is his duty, without depending on the result of action, he is a monk and a yogi; (but) not (so in) he who does not keep a fire and is actionless.
諸如火祭(Agnihotra)等行為,若不期望其果報而為之,便能淨化心靈,成為禪定瑜伽(Dhyana Yoga)或冥想瑜伽的手段。「應盡之業」(Karyam Karma)是指應盡的職責。「不生火祭者」(Niragnih)是指那些放棄了日常火祭等儀式的人。「不行動者」(Akriya)是指那些放棄了苦行及其他功德行為,如建造客棧、慈善診所、挖井、施食濟貧等的人。「三亞西」(Sannyasi)是指放棄行動果報的人。「瑜伽士」(Yogi)是指心意穩定的人。這兩個術語僅以次要意義應用於他,並非指他實際上就是一個三亞西和瑜伽士。真正的三亞西既不舉行火祭,也不舉行其他儀式。但僅僅省略這些,若無真正的棄絕之心,並不能使人成為真正的三亞西。
Actions such as Agnihotra? etc.? performed without the expectation of their fruits purify the mind and become the means to Dhyana Yoga or the Yoga of Meditation.Karyam Karma bounden duty.Niragnih without fire. He who has renounced the daily rituals like Agnihotra? which are performed with the help of fire.Akriya without action. He who has renounced austerities and other meritorious acts like building resthouses? charitable dispensaries? digging wells? feeding the poor? etc.Sannyasi he who has renounced the fruits of his actions.Yogi he who has a steady mind. These two terms are applied to him in a secondary sense only. They are not used to denote that he is in reality a Sannyasi and a Yogi.The Sannyasi performs neither Agnihotra nor other ceremonies. But simply to omit these without genuine renunciation will not make one a real Sannyasi. (Cf.V.3)
