Shloka 1
Sanskrit:
सर्वकर्माणि मनसा संन्यस्यास्ते सुखं वशी |
नवद्वारे पुरे देही नैव कुर्वन्न कारयन् ॥ ५.१३ ॥
Transliteration:
Sarva-karmāṇi manasā sannyasyāste sukhaṁ vaśhī,
Nava-dvāre pure dehī naiva kurvan na kārayan.
Meaning:
Mentally renouncing all actions, the embodied soul (controlled self) dwells happily in the city of nine gates (the body), neither acting nor causing action.
Explanation:
The body = a fortified city with nine gates (eyes, ears, nostrils, mouth, genitals, anus). The wise yogi sits as the detached king inside—mentally dropping all doership. No action claimed, no causation blamed. Pure inner happiness!
Shloka 2 Sanskrit:
न कर्तृत्वं न कर्माणि लोकस्य सृजति प्रभुः |
न कर्मफलसंयोगं स्वभावस्तु प्रवर्तते ॥ ५.१४ ॥
Transliteration:
Na kartṛitvaṁ na karmāṇi lokasya sṛijati prabhuḥ,
Na karma-phala-saṁyogaṁ svabhāvas tu pravartate.
Meaning:
The Lord (Supreme) does not create doership, actions, or the connection between actions and their results for anyone. It is nature (svabhava/prakriti) that operates.
Explanation:
Krishna clarifies: God doesn't assign "I am the doer" or force karma-fruits on anyone. It's prakriti (material nature + gunas) that drives actions and results. The soul is only the witness—drop the false sense of agency!
Shloka 3 Sanskrit:
नादत्ति कस्यचित्पापं न चैव सुकृतं विभुः |
अज्ञानेनावृतं ज्ञानं तेन मुह्यन्ति जन्तवः ॥ ५.१५ ॥
Transliteration:
Nādatti kasyachit pāpaṁ na chaiva sukṛitaṁ vibhuḥ,
Ajñānena avṛitaṁ jñānaṁ tena muhyanti jantavaḥ.
Meaning:
The all-pervading Lord neither accepts anyone's sin nor merit. Knowledge is covered by ignorance, and because of that, beings are deluded.
Explanation:
God is impartial—He doesn't "take" your sins or good deeds. The real issue? Ignorance veils true knowledge of the Self, causing confusion and bondage. Remove ajnana → see reality clearly! Light dispels darkness!
Today’s TakeawayYou're the witness in the city of nine gates—not the doer! Mentally renounce actions, let prakriti run the show, and remember: God doesn't judge your karma—ignorance does. Drop the veil of "I am doing this," stay detached inside the body-city, and live in effortless peace. True freedom is realizing non-doership!JAI SHRI KRISHNA👐👏💗💕💞💫🙇🙌🙏
