5.11
कायेन मनसा बुद्ध्या केवलैरिन्द्रियैरपि ।
योगिनः कर्म कुर्वन्ति सङ्गं त्यक्त्वाऽऽत्मशुद्धये ॥
కాయేన మనసా బుద్ధ్యా కేవలైరిన్ద్రియైరపి ।
యోగినః కర్మ కుర్వన్తి సఙ్గం త్యక్త్వాఽఽత్మశుద్ధయే ॥
kāyena manasā buddhyā kevalairindriyairapi |
yoginaḥ karma kurvanti saṅgaṃ tyaktvā’’tmaśuddhaye ||
About chapter 5
Arjuna asks which is better: renouncing action or performing it. Krishna answers that both lead to the goal, but selfless action is easier and better. One who acts without attachment, offering the work to God, is untouched by sin, like a lotus leaf by water. The wise see the same Self in a learned person, a cow, an elephant and a dog, and find lasting peace within.
