This action was done by the body but not by me'. The pure-natured person thinking like this, is not acting even when acting.॥25॥

कृतं देहेन कर्मेदं

न मया शुद्धरूपिणा।

इति चिन्तानुरोधी यः

कुर्वन्नपि करोति न॥१८- २५॥

यह कर्म शरीर ने किया है, मैंने नहीं, मैं तो शुद्ध स्वरुप हूँ'  - इस प्रकार जिसने निश्चय कर लिया है, वह कर्म करता हुआ भी नहीं करता॥२५॥

This action was done by the body but not by me'. The pure-natured person thinking like this, is not acting even when acting.॥25॥
