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 13 — VERSO 13 >> सर्वकर्माणि मनसा संन्यस्यास्ते सुखं वशी नवद्वारे पुरे देही नैव कुर्वन न कारयन sarva-karmāṇi manasā sannyasyāste sukhaṁ vaśī nava-dvāre pure dehī naiva kurvan na kārayan WORD BY WORD — PALAVRA POR PALAVRA sarva all karmāṇi activities manasā by the mind sannyasya giving up āste remains sukham in happiness vaśī one who is controlled nava-dvāre in the place where there are nine gates pure in the city dehī the embodied soul na never eva certainly kurvan doing anything na not kārayan causing to be done TRANSLATION — TRADUÇÃO When the embodied living being controls his nature and mentally renounces all actions, he resides happily in the city of nine gates [the material body], neither working nor causing work to be done. Ao controlar sua natureza e ao renunciar mentalmente a todas as ações, o ser vivo encarnado reside feliz na cidade dos nove portões [o corpo material], onde não trabalha e nem faz com que se execute trabalho. PURPORT — SIGNIFICADO The embodied soul lives in the city of nine gates. The activities of the body, or the figurative city of body, are conducted automatically by its particular modes of nature. The soul, although subjecting himself to the conditions of the body, can be beyond those conditions, if he so desires. Owing only to forgetfulness of his superior nature, he identifies with the material body, and therefore suffers. By Kṛṣṇa consciousness, he can revive his real position and thus come out of his embodiment. Therefore, when one takes to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, one at once becomes completely aloof from bodily activities. In such a controlled life, in which his deliberations are changed, he lives happily within the city of nine gates. The nine gates are mentioned as follows: nava-dvāre pure dehī haṁso lelāyate bahiḥ vaśī sarvasya lokasya sthāvarasya carasya ca “The Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is living within the body of a living entity, is the controller of all living entities all over the universe. The body consists of nine gates [two eyes, two nostrils, two ears, one mouth, the anus and the genitals]. The living entity in his conditioned stage identifies himself with the body, but when he identifies himself with the Lord within himself, he becomes just as free as the Lord, even while in the body.” (Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad 3.18) Therefore, a Kṛṣṇa conscious person is free from both the outer and inner activities of the material body. << Previous Verso — Verso anterior | Next Verse — Próximo >>
