My Personal Gita

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

Having abandoned attachment to the fruit of actions, the master of Yoga attains the highest Peace. But, one who is not a master of Yoga and is attached to the fruit of action, is bound by their actions born of desire.

Shri Purohit Swami

Having abandoned the fruit of action, he wins eternal peace. Others unacquainted with spirituality, led by desire and clinging to the benefit which they think will follow their actions, become entangled in them.

Swami Adidevananda

A Yogin, renouncing the fruits of his actions, attains lasting peace. But the unsteady man who is attached to fruits of actions, being impelled by desire, is bound.

Swami Gambirananda

Giving up the result of work by becoming resolute in faith, one attains Peace arising from steadfastness. One who is lacking in resolute faith, being attached to the result under the impulsion of desire, becomes bound.

Swami Sivananda

The united one (the well poised or the harmonised), having abandoned the fruit of action, attains to the eternal peace; the non-united only (the unsteady or the unbalanced), impelled by desire and attached to the fruit, is bound.

My Personal Gita

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

The Lord (Self) acquires neither the state of being a creator of the world, nor the actions, nor the connection with the fruits of their actions. But it is the inherent nature [in It] that exerts.

Shri Purohit Swami

The Lord of this universe has not ordained activity, or any incentive thereto, or any relation between an act and its consequences. All this is the work of Nature.

Swami Adidevananda

The lord of the body (the self i.e., the Jiva) does not create agency, nor actions, nor union with the fruits of actions in relation to the world of selves. It is only the inherent tendencies that function.

Swami Gambirananda

The Self does not create agentship or any objects (of desire) for anyone; nor association with the results of actions. But it is Nature that acts.

Swami Sivananda

Neither agency nor actions does the Lord create for the world, nor union with the fruits of actions; it is Nature that acts.

My Personal Gita

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

Having renounced all actions by mind, a man of self-control dwells happily in his body, a nine-windowed mansion, neither performing nor causing others to perform any actions.

Shri Purohit Swami

Mentally renouncing all actions, the self-controlled soul enjoys bliss in this body, the city of the nine gates, neither doing anything himself nor causing anything to be done.

Swami Adidevananda

The embodied self, mentally resigning all actions as belonging to the city of nine gates (i.e., the body) and becoming self-controlled, dwells happily, neither himself acting nor causing the body to act.

Swami Gambirananda

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.

Swami Sivananda

Mentally renouncing all actions and self-controlled, the embodied one rests happily in the nine-gated city, neither acting nor causing others (body and senses) to act.
