Bhagavad-gītā As it Is — Bhagavad-gītā Como Ele É EM PROCESSO << 5 - Karma-yoga – Action in Kṛṣṇa Consciousness >> << 5 - Karma-yoga – Ação em Consciência de Krishna >> << VERSE 10 — VERSO 10 >> बरह्मण्य आधाय कर्माणि सङ्गं तयक्त्वा करॊति यः लिप्यते न स पापेन पद्मपत्रम इवाम्भसा brahmaṇy ādhāya karmāṇi saṅgaṁ tyaktvā karoti yaḥ lipyate na sa pāpena padma-patram ivāmbhasā WORD BY WORD — PALAVRA POR PALAVRA brahmaṇi unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead ādhāya resigning karmāṇi all works saṅgam attachment tyaktvā giving up karoti performs yaḥ who lipyate is affected na never saḥ he pāpena by sin padma-patram a lotus leaf iva like ambhasā by the water TRANSLATION — TRADUÇÃO One who performs his duty without attachment, surrendering the results unto the Supreme Lord, is unaffected by sinful action, as the lotus leaf is untouched by water. Aquele que executa seu dever sem apego, entregando os resultados ao Senhor Supremo, não é afetado pela ação pecaminosa, assim como a folha de lótus não é tocada pela água. PURPORT — SIGNIFICADO Here brahmaṇi means in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. The material world is a sum total manifestation of the three modes of material nature, technically called the pradhāna. The Vedic hymns sarvaṁ hy etad brahma (Māṇḍūkya Upaniṣad 2), tasmād etad brahma nāma rūpam annaṁ ca jāyate (Muṇḍaka Upaniṣad 1.1.9), and, in the Bhagavad-gītā (14.3), mama yonir mahad brahma indicate that everything in the material world is a manifestation of Brahman; and although the effects are differently manifested, they are nondifferent from the cause. In the Īśopaniṣad it is said that everything is related to the Supreme Brahman, or Kṛṣṇa, and thus everything belongs to Him only. One who knows perfectly well that everything belongs to Kṛṣṇa, that He is the proprietor of everything and that, therefore, everything is engaged in the service of the Lord, naturally has nothing to do with the results of his activities, whether virtuous or sinful. Even one’s material body, being a gift of the Lord for carrying out a particular type of action, can be engaged in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. It is then beyond contamination by sinful reactions, exactly as the lotus leaf, though remaining in the water, is not wet. The Lord also says in the Gītā (3.30), mayi sarvāṇi karmāṇi sannyasya: “Resign all works unto Me [Kṛṣṇa].” The conclusion is that a person without Kṛṣṇa consciousness acts according to the concept of the material body and senses, but a person in Kṛṣṇa consciousness acts according to the knowledge that the body is the property of Kṛṣṇa and should therefore be engaged in the service of Kṛṣṇa. << Previous Verso — Verso anterior | Next Verse — Próximo >>
