Krishna. Therefore, who doeth work rightful to do,
Not seeking gain from work, that man, O Prince! Is Sanyasi and Yogi- both in one
And he is neither who lights not the flame Of sacrifice, nor setteth hand
to task.
Regard as true Renouncer him that makes
Worship by work, for who renounceth not Works not as
Yogin. So is that well said: "By works the votary doth rise to faith, And saintship is the ceasing from
all works; Because the perfect Yogin acts- but acts Unmoved by passions and unbound by deeds, Setting result aside.
Let each man raise The Self by
Soul, not trample down his Self, Since Soul that is Self's friend may
grow Self's foe. Soul is Self's friend when Self doth rule o'er Self,
But Self turns enemy if Soul's own self Hates Self as not itself.
