स्पर्शान्कृत्वा बहिर्बाह्यांश्चक्षुश्चैवान्तरे भ्रुवोः ।
प्राणापानौ समौ कृत्वा नासाभ्यन्तरचारिणौ ॥
స్పర్శాన్కృత్వా బహిర్బాహ్యాంశ్చక్షుశ్చైవాన్తరే భ్రువోః ।
ప్రాణాపానౌ సమౌ కృత్వా నాసాభ్యన్తరచారిణౌ ॥
sparśānkṛtvā bahirbāhyāṃścakṣuścaivāntare bhruvoḥ |
prāṇāpānau samau kṛtvā nāsābhyantaracāriṇau ||
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.
