Shloka 1
योगयुक्तो विशुद्धात्मा विजितात्मा जितेन्द्रियः |
सर्वभूतात्मभूतात्मा कुर्वन्नपि न लिप्यते ॥ ५.७ ॥
Yoga-yukto viśhuddhātmā vijitātmā jitendriyaḥ,
Sarva-bhūtātma-bhūtātmā kurvann api na lipyate.
One who is steadfast in yoga, with purified intellect, conquered mind and senses, and sees the Self in all beings—he performs actions yet remains untainted by them.
Krishna paints the portrait of the true karma yogi: Mind pure, senses controlled, seeing God/Self everywhere. Even while busy in the world, no karma sticks—no bondage! Universal vision + detachment = freedom in action.
Shloka 2
नैव किञ्चित्करोमीति युक्तो मन्येत तत्त्ववित् |
पश्यञ्शृण्वन्स्पृशञ्जिघ्रन्नश्नन्गच्छन्स्वपञ्श्वसन् ॥ ५.८ ॥
Naiva kiñchit karomīti yukto manyeta tattva-vit,
Paśhyañ śhṛiṇvan spṛiśhañ jighrann aśhnan gachchhan svapan śhvasan.
The one established in yoga, who knows the truth, thinks: "I do nothing at all," even while seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, eating, moving, sleeping, or breathing.
The tattva-vit (knower of reality) stays detached: "These are just senses doing their thing—I'm not the doer!" Daily activities continue, but ego doesn't claim them. Witness mode activated—pure liberation vibe!
Shloka 3
प्रलपन्विसृजन्गृह्णन्नुन्मिषन्निमिषन्नपि |
इन्द्रियाणीन्द्रियार्थेषु वर्तन्त इति धारयन् ॥ ५.९ ॥
Pralapan visṛijan gṛihṇann unmiṣhann nimiṣhann api,
Indriyāṇīndriyārtheṣhu vartanta iti dhārayan.
While talking, excreting, grasping, opening and closing the eyes—even in all these—he holds firm: "The senses are merely interacting with their objects."
Extending the idea: From speech to basic functions, the wise one remains convinced it's all mechanical—senses + objects, no "me" involved. This inner conviction frees from karma's grip. Total non-doership mastery!
Today’s TakeawayAct, but know you're not the actor! Purify mind & senses, see the Self in all, and live with the firm knowledge: "I do nothing—the senses play their roles." This shifts you from doer to witness—actions happen, but bondage doesn't. True freedom in the midst of life!
