ध्यानयोगः — Dhyāna-Yoga
Discipline of Meditation and Mental Restraint
गतसड्स्य मुक्तस्य ज्ञानावस्थितचेतस: । यज्ञायाचरत: कर्म समग्र प्रविलीयते
gatasāṅgasya muktasya jñānāvasthitacetasaḥ | yajñāyācarataḥ karma samagraṁ pravilīyate ||
对于已离贪著、内得解脱、其心安住于正知而以行动奉献于祭祀(yajña)者,一切业皆全然消融;其系缚之余渣不复黏著,因为所作无占有之心,乃为神圣之旨,而非为一己之利。
अजुन उवाच
When action is performed without attachment and offered as yajña—without egoistic ownership or craving for results—it does not generate binding karma; instead, the karmic residue is said to dissolve because the agent is established in knowledge and freedom.
In the Gītā’s teaching context on the battlefield, the instruction clarifies how one may continue to act (including in a difficult duty-bound situation) while remaining ethically and spiritually unbound: by acting with steady knowledge and offering the act to yajña rather than to personal desire.
