| He
who perceives inaction in action and action In Inaction, has among
men attained real knowledge; even while performing all action, he is
doing Yoga.
IV-18 To perceive "inaction" in "action" is to under- stand and carry out the principle of renunciation of selfish desires while doing the work allotted to or taken up by one. To perceive "action" in "inaction" is to realize that external abstinence by itself does not amount to purity of mind, and to attain by practice the control of internal desires. This is reiterated in both aspects in IV-41, quoted on page 46. Activities free from selfish attachments do not leave a Karmic residue. The learned deem him to have realized the truth whose plans are not shaped by desire and whose actions has been purified in furnace of knowledge. IV-19 |
