6.29.1
संन्यासं कर्मणां कृष्ण कपुनर्योगं च शंससि ।
यच्छ्रेय एतयोरेकं तन्मे ब्रूहि सुनिश्चितम् ॥ ६.२९.१ ॥
Kṛṣṇa, you praise the renunciation of actions, and again the path of action. Tell me with certainty which one of these two is the higher good.
6.29.2
संन्यासः कर्मयोगश्च निःश्रेयसकरावुभौ ।
तयोस्तु कर्मसंन्यासात्कर्मयोगो विशिष्यते ॥ ६.२९.२ ॥
Renunciation and the yoga of action both bring the highest good; yet of the two, the yoga of action is superior to the renunciation of action.
6.29.3
ज्ञेयः स नित्यसंन्यासी यो न द्वेष्टि न काङ्क्षति ।
निर्द्वन्द्वो हि महाबाहो सुखं बन्धात्प्रमुच्यते ॥ ६.२९.३ ॥
He should be known as the constant renouncer who neither hates nor desires. Free from the pairs of opposites, O mighty-armed one, a man is easily released from bondage.
6.29.4
साङ्ख्ययोगौ पृथग्बालाः प्रवदन्ति न पण्डिताः ।
एकमप्यास्थितः सम्यगुभयोर्विन्दते फलम् ॥ ६.२९.४ ॥
Fools, not the wise, speak of the path of knowledge and the path of action as separate. One who truly follows even one of them reaps the fruit of both.
6.29.5
यत्साङ्ख्यैः प्राप्यते स्थानं तद्योगैरपि गम्यते ।
एकं साङ्ख्यं च योगं च यः पश्यति स पश्यति ॥ ६.२९.५ ॥
The state reached by the followers of knowledge is also reached by the followers of action. He truly sees who sees the path of knowledge and the path of action as one.
6.29.6
संन्यासस्तु महाबाहो दुःखमाप्तुमयोगतः ।
योगयुक्तो मुनिर्ब्रह्म नचिरेणाधिगच्छति ॥ ६.२९.६ ॥
But, O mighty-armed one, renunciation without yoga brings only sorrow. The sage joined to yoga soon attains Brahman.
6.29.7
योगयुक्तो विशुद्धात्मा विजितात्मा जितेन्द्रियः ।
सर्वभूतात्मभूतात्मा कुर्वन्नपि न लिप्यते ॥ ६.२९.७ ॥
He who is united in yoga, purified in self, who has conquered his self and senses, and who regards the self of all beings as his own self — though he acts, he is not stained.
6.29.8
नैव किंचित्करोमीति युक्तो मन्येत तत्त्ववित् ।
पश्यञ्शृण्वन्स्पृशञ्जिघ्रन्नश्रन्गच्छन्स्वपन्श्वसन् ॥ ६.२९.८ ॥
'I do nothing at all' — so the one united in yoga and knowing the truth thinks, even while seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, eating, going, sleeping and breathing.
6.29.9
प्रलपन्विसृजन्गृह्णन्नृन्मिषन्निमिषन्नपि ।
इन्द्रियाणीन्द्रियार्थेषु वर्तन्त इति धारयन् ॥ ६.२९.९ ॥
Even while speaking, letting go, grasping, opening or closing the eyes — holding in mind that 'the senses are engaged with their objects'.
6.29.10
ब्रह्मण्याधाय कर्माणि सङ्गं त्यक्त्वा करोति यः ।
लिप्यते न स पापेन पद्मपत्रमिवाम्भसा ॥ ६.२९.१० ॥
He who performs actions, placing them in Brahman and abandoning attachment, is not stained by sin — as a lotus leaf is not wetted by water.
6.29.11
कायेन मनसा बुद्ध्या केवलैरिन्द्रियैरपि ।
योगिनः कर्म कुर्वन्ति सङ्गं त्यक्त्वात्मशुद्धये ॥ ६.२९.११ ॥
With body, mind, intellect, and even with the senses alone, yogins perform action, abandoning attachment, for the purification of the self.
6.29.12
युक्तः कर्मफलं त्यक्त्वा शान्तिमाप्नोति नैष्ठिकीम् ।
अयुक्तः कामकारेण फले सक्तो निबध्यते ॥ ६.२९.१२ ॥
The united one, abandoning the fruit of action, attains lasting peace; the non-united one, driven by desire, attached to the fruit, becomes bound.
6.29.13
सर्वकर्माणि मनसा संन्यस्यास्ते सुखं वशी ।
नवद्वारे पुरे देही नैव कुर्वन्न कारयन् ॥ ६.२९.१३ ॥
The self-controlled one, renouncing all actions in his mind, dwells happily; the embodied self in the city of nine gates neither acts nor causes action.
6.29.14
न कर्तृत्वं न कर्माणि लोकस्य सृजति प्रभुः ।
न कर्मफलसंयोगं स्वभावस्तु प्रवर्तते ॥ ६.२९.१४ ॥
The Lord does not create for the world agency or actions, nor the connection with the fruits of action; it is nature that proceeds.
6.29.15
नादत्ते कस्य चित्पापं न चैव सुकृतं विभुः ।
अज्ञानेनावृतं ज्ञानं तेन मुह्यन्ति जन्तवः ॥ ६.२९.१५ ॥
The all-pervading one takes on no one's evil nor merit; knowledge is covered by ignorance, and by that living beings are deluded.
6.29.16
ज्ञानेन तु तदज्ञानं येषां नाशितमात्मनः ।
तेषामादित्यवज्ज्ञानं प्रकाशयति तत्परम् ॥ ६.२९.१६ ॥
But for those whose ignorance of the self has been destroyed by knowledge, that supreme knowledge shines like the sun.
6.29.17
तद्बुद्धयस्तदात्मानस्तन्निष्ठास्तत्परायणाः ।
गच्छन्त्यपुनरावृत्तिं ज्ञाननिर्धूतकल्मषाः ॥ ६.२९.१७ ॥
Those whose intellect is fixed on that, whose self is that, who are established in that and intent on it as their goal, their impurities shaken off by knowledge, go to the state from which there is no return.
6.29.18
विद्याविनयसंपन्ने ब्राह्मणे गवि हस्तिनि ।
शुनि चैव श्वपाके च पण्डिताः समदर्शिनः ॥ ६.२९.१८ ॥
The wise, in a brahmin endowed with learning and humility, in a cow, an elephant, a dog, and even a dog-cooker, see with equal eyes.
6.29.19
इहैव तैर्जितः सर्गो येषां साम्ये स्थितं मनः ।
निर्दोषं हि समं ब्रह्म तस्माद्ब्रह्मणि ते स्थिताः ॥ ६.२९.१९ ॥
Those whose mind is established in equanimity have conquered creation even here; brahman is faultless and equal, therefore they abide in brahman.
6.29.20
न प्रहृष्येत्प्रियं व्याप्य नोद्विजेत्प्राप्य चाप्रियम् ।
स्थिरबुद्धिरसंमूढो ब्रह्मविद्ब्रह्मणि स्थितः ॥ ६.२९.२० ॥
One who does not rejoice on obtaining the pleasant, nor grow troubled on meeting the unpleasant, steady of intellect and undeluded, knower of brahman, established in brahman.
6.29.21
बाह्यस्पर्शेष्वसक्तात्मा विन्दत्यात्मनि यत्सुखम् ।
स ब्रह्मयोगयुक्तात्मा सुखमक्षय्यमश्रुते ॥ ६.२९.२१ ॥
He whose self is unattached to external contacts finds in the self that happiness; joined in self to the yoga of brahman, he enjoys imperishable happiness.
6.29.22
ये हि संस्पर्शजा भोगा दुःखयोनय एव ते ।
आद्यन्तवन्तः कौन्तेय न तेषु रमते बुधः ॥ ६.२९.२२ ॥
The enjoyments born of contact are indeed sources of suffering; they have beginning and end, son of Kuntī, and the wise man does not delight in them.
6.29.23
शक्नोतीहैव यः सोढुं प्राक्शरीरविमोक्षणात् ।
कामक्रोधोद्भवं वेगं स युक्तः स सुखी नरः ॥ ६.२९.२३ ॥
The man who can endure here, before release from the body, the surge born of desire and anger — he is disciplined, he is happy.
6.29.24
योऽन्तःसुखोऽन्तरारामस्तथान्तर्ज्योतिरेव यः ।
स योगी ब्रह्मनिर्वाणं ब्रह्मभूतोऽधिगच्छति ॥ ६.२९.२४ ॥
The yogin who is happy within, delights within, and has his light within, becoming brahman-become, attains extinction in brahman.
6.29.25
लभन्ते ब्रह्मनिर्वाणमृषयः क्षीणकल्मषाः ।
छिन्नद्वैधा यतात्मानः सर्वभूतहिते रताः ॥ ६.२९.२५ ॥
The seers, whose impurities are destroyed, whose dualities are cut, who are self-restrained and delight in the welfare of all beings, attain liberation in Brahman.
6.29.26
कामक्रोधवियुक्तानां यतीनां यतचेतसाम् ।
अभितो ब्रह्मनिर्वाणं वर्तते विदितात्मनाम् ॥ ६.२९.२६ ॥
For the ascetics freed from desire and anger, whose minds are controlled, who know the self, liberation in Brahman is present on every side.
6.29.27
स्पर्शान्कृत्वा बहिर्बाह्यांश्चक्षुश्चैवान्तरे भ्रुवोः ।
प्राणापानौ समौ कृत्वा नासाभ्यन्तरचारिणौ ॥ ६.२९.२७ ॥
Having shut out external contacts, fixing the gaze between the eyebrows, and equalising the in-breath and out-breath moving within the nostrils.
6.29.28
यतेन्द्रियमनोबुद्धिर्मुनिर्मोक्षपरायणः ।
विगतेच्छाभयक्रोधो यः सदा मुक्त एव सः । ॥ ६.२९.२८ ॥
The sage whose senses, mind and intellect are controlled, who is intent on liberation, free from desire, fear and anger — he is always indeed liberated.
6.29.29
भोक्तारं यज्ञतपसां सर्वलोकमहेश्वरम् ।
सुहृदं सर्वभूतानां ज्ञात्वा मां शान्तिमृच्छति ॥ ६.२९.२९ ॥
Knowing me, the enjoyer of sacrifices and austerities, the great lord of all worlds, the friend of all beings, he attains peace.
