न च मां तानि कर्माणि निबध्नन्ति धनञ्जय | उदासीनवदासीनमसक्तं तेषु कर्मसु
na ca māṃ tāni karmāṇi nibadhnanti dhanañjaya . udāsīnavadāsīnamasaktaṃ teṣu karmasu
達南賈亞(阿周那)啊,那些行為亦不束縛我,我如同對那些行為漠不關心、不執著的人一樣。
O Dhananjaya (Arjuna), nor do those actions bind Me, remaining (as I do) like one unconcerned with, and unattached to, those actions.
這些行為是指宇宙的創造與解體。我是宇宙解體的唯一原因。我是「原質」(Nature)及其活動的唯一原因,然而,我對一切漠不關心,什麼也不做。我也不讓任何事情發生。我保持中立、漠不關心或不相關。我對這些行為的結果沒有執著。此外,我沒有「我做此事」這種我執的行為者感受。我知道「自性」(Self)是無為的。因此,創造和解體所涉及的行為不會束縛我。就像伊什瓦拉(Isvara,主)一樣,對於其他人而言,缺乏我執的行為者感受和對行為結果的無執著,也是獲得自由(免於「達磨」(Dharma)和「阿達磨」(Adharma),即善與惡)的原因。那些帶著我執工作並期望獲得行為回報的無知之人,就像繭中的蠶一樣,被自己的行為所束縛。正如板球或足球比賽中立的裁判或仲裁者不受雙方勝負的影響一樣,主也不受這個世界的創造和毀滅的影響,因為祂保持不相關或漠不關心,並且是無聲而永恆的見證者。(參見《博伽梵歌》第四章第十四節)
These acts Creation and dissolution of the universe. I am the only cause of dissolution of the universe. I am the only cause of Nature and its activities and yet? being indifferent to everythin? I do nothing. Nor do I cause anything to be done.I remain as one neutral or indifferent or unconcerned. I have no attachment for the fruits of those actions. Further I have not go the egoistic feeling of agency I do this. I know that the Self is actionless. Therefore the actions involved in creation and dissolution do not bind Me.As in the case of Isvara so in the case of others also the absence of the egoistic feeling of agency and the absense of attachment to the fruits of action is the cause of freedom (from Dharma and Adharma? virtue and evil) The ignorant man who works with egoism and who expects rewards for his action is bound by his own actions like the silkworm in the cocoon.Just as the neutral referee or umpire in a cricket or football match is not affected by the victory or defeat of the parties? so also the Lord is not affected by the creation and destruction of this world as He remains unconcerned or indifferent and as He is a silent and changeless witness. (Cf.IV.14)
