Adhyāya 51: Kṛṣṇa’s Leave-Taking and Departure for Dvārakā (द्वारकागमनानुमति)
तस्मात् कर्मसु निःस्नेहा ये केचित् पारदर्शिन: । विद्यामयो<यं पुरुषो न तु कर्ममय: स्मृत:
tasmāt karmasu niḥsnehā ye kecit pāradarśinaḥ | vidyāmayo 'yaṃ puruṣo na tu karmamayaḥ smṛtaḥ ||
风神说道:“是故,洞见真实的明达之士,于诸业不生贪著。因为此人我(puruṣa)被认知为知识(vidyā)之性,并非由业所成。”
वायुदेव उवाच
The verse teaches non-attachment to action: the wise, who perceive reality clearly, do not cling to karma because the true self is essentially knowledge (consciousness), not something produced or defined by deeds.
Vāyudeva is instructing the listener in a reflective, philosophical mode, distinguishing the nature of the self from the realm of action and urging the standpoint of the discerning sages who act without attachment.
