Bhagavad-gītā As it Is — Bhagavad-gītā Como Ele É EM PROCESSO << 4 - Transcendental Knowledge >> << 4 - O Conhecimento Transcendental >> << VERSE 21 — VERSO 21 >> निराशीर यतचित्तात्मा तयक्तसर्वपरिग्रहः शारीरं केवलं कर्म कुर्वन नाप्नॊति किल्बिषम nirāśīr yata-cittātmā tyakta-sarva-parigrahaḥ śārīraṁ kevalaṁ karma kurvan nāpnoti kilbiṣam WORD BY WORD — PALAVRA POR PALAVRA nirāśīḥ without desire for the result yata controlled citta-ātmā mind and intelligence tyakta giving up sarva all parigrahaḥ sense of proprietorship over possessions śārīram in keeping body and soul together kevalam only karma work kurvan doing na never āpnoti does acquire kilbiṣam sinful reactions TRANSLATION — TRADUÇÃO Such a man of understanding acts with mind and intelligence perfectly controlled, gives up all sense of proprietorship over his possessions and acts only for the bare necessities of life. Thus working, he is not affected by sinful reactions. Tal homem de compreensão age com a mente e a inteligência sob controle perfeito, e deixa de ter qualquer sentimento de propriedade por suas posses e age apenas para obter as necessidades mínimas da vida. Trabalhando assim, ele não é afetado por reações pecaminosas. PURPORT — SIGNIFICADO A Kṛṣṇa conscious person does not expect good or bad results in his activities. His mind and intelligence are fully controlled. He knows that because he is part and parcel of the Supreme, the part played by him, as a part and parcel of the whole, is not his own activity but is only being done through him by the Supreme. When the hand moves, it does not move out of its own accord, but by the endeavor of the whole body. A Kṛṣṇa conscious person is always dovetailed with the supreme desire, for he has no desire for personal sense gratification. He moves exactly like a part of a machine. As a machine part requires oiling and cleaning for maintenance, so a Kṛṣṇa conscious man maintains himself by his work just to remain fit for action in the transcendental loving service of the Lord. He is therefore immune to all the reactions of his endeavors. Like an animal, he has no proprietorship even over his own body. A cruel proprietor of an animal sometimes kills the animal in his possession, yet the animal does not protest. Nor does it have any real independence. A Kṛṣṇa conscious person, fully engaged in self-realization, has very little time to falsely possess any material object. For maintaining body and soul, he does not require unfair means of accumulating money. He does not, therefore, become contaminated by such material sins. He is free from all reactions to his actions. << Previous Verso — Verso anterior | Next Verse — Próximo >>
