Nimi Questions the Yogendras: Māyā, Cosmic Dissolution, Guru-Śaraṇāgati, Bhakti, and Deity Worship
श्रीराजोवाच कर्मयोगं वदत न: पुरुषो येन संस्कृत: । विधूयेहाशु कर्माणि नैष्कर्म्यं विन्दते परम् ॥ ४१ ॥
śrī-rājovāca karma-yogaṁ vadata naḥ puruṣo yena saṁskṛtaḥ vidhūyehāśu karmāṇi naiṣkarmyaṁ vindate param
王は言った。「偉大なる聖仙たちよ、我らにカルマ・ヨーガの道を説いてください。これによって人は浄められる。このヨーガにより、今生においてさえ速やかに物質的行為を払い落とし、最高のナイシュカルミャ(無業の境地)を得て、超越の台における清浄な生を味わうのです。」
As stated in Bhagavad-gītā (3.5) :
In this verse, King Nimi asks for karma-yoga that purifies a person and quickly removes karmic reactions, culminating in the supreme naiṣkarmya—freedom from bondage to action.
Within the dialogue with exalted sages, the King seeks a practical spiritual method for purification in worldly life—how to act in a way that removes karmic bondage and leads to liberation.
Perform duties responsibly while aiming for inner purification—offering work in a spirit aligned with dharma and devotion—so actions no longer bind and the mind moves toward liberation.
