Pleasure-pain and birth-death are due to previous actions (which decide fate). One who knows it with definiteness acts without desire. He acts playfully and never gets attached to them.॥4॥

सुखदुःखे जन्ममृत्यू 

दैवादेवेति निश्चयी।

साध्यादर्शी निरायासः 

कुर्वन्नपि न लिप्यते॥११- ४॥

सुख-दुःख और जन्म-मृत्यु प्रारब्धवश (पूर्व कृत कर्मों के अनुसार) हैं, ऐसा निश्चित रूप से जानने वाला, फल की इच्छा न रखने वाला, सरलता से कर्म करते हुए भी उनसे लिप्त नहीं होता है॥४॥

Pleasure-pain and birth-death are due to previous actions (which decide fate). One who knows it with definiteness acts without desire. He acts playfully and never gets attached to them.॥4॥
