He who shrinks not from action which does not bring lasting happiness,
nor gets attached to that which is conducive to blessedness — imbued
with the quality of goodness, he has all his doubts resolved, is
intelligent and a man of true renunciation. Since all actions cannot be
given up in their entirety by anyone possessing a body, he alone who
renounces the fruit of actions is called a man of renunciation. Welcome,
unwelcome and mixed — threefold, indeed, is the fruit that accrues
hereafter from the actions of the unrenouncing. But there is none ever
for those who have renounced. He whose intellect is unattached
everywhere, whose thirst for enjoyment has altogether disappeared and
who has subdued his mind, reaches through the path of knowledge the
consummation of actionlessness. Established in identity with Brahma (who
is truth, consciousness and bliss solidified) and cheerful in mind, such
a person no longer grieves nor craves for anything. Through supreme
devotion to Him, he comes to know Him in reality and enters into Supreme
Being. The Karmyogi, however, who depends on Him, attains by His grace
the eternal, imperishable state, even though performing all actions.
Mentally resigning all his duties to Him and taking recourse of Yoga in
the form of evenmindedness he should be solely devoted to Him and
constantly give his mind to Him. God abides in the heart of all
creatures, causing them to revolve by His illusive power seated as those
beings are in the vehicle of the body. One should take shelter in Him
alone with all one's being. By His mere grace that person shall attain
supreme peace and the eternal state.
