CHAPTER SIX

Karma Darsanam—Vision of Action

Verse - 9


स्वयं क्रियन्ते कर्माणि कारणैरिन्द्रियैरपि ।

अहं त्वसङ्गः कूटस्थ इति जानाति कोविदः ॥ ९ ॥


Actions are self-done by the inner-organ as well as the senses,

But the enlightened person knows, "So, I am unattached and rock-firm."


Sree Narayana Guru

Commentary


The enlightened person knows that he is unattached and rock-firm in the Self, simply because he is the Self. Actions are "self-done by the inner-organ as well as the senses", so the person of yogic insight remains unattached. This is how the Chandragnana Agama describes the enlightened person: "Not standing, not sitting, moving about (yet) not moving about, he is peaceful, and though in the relative world he is not stained by it." The Bhagavad Gita also speaks about the unattached person who only acts unitively or yogically.
