Guest guest Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 Chapter 9 Verse 9 Na cha maa.n taani karmaani nibadhnanti Dhana.njaya / udaaseenavad aaseenam asakta.n teshhu karmasu // Nor do these acts, O Dhananjaya, bind Me, who remains like one unconcerned and not attached to these acts. LESSONS FROM BHAGAVAD GITA – 86 As taught by Parama Pujya Sri Swamiji "Nor do these acts, O Dhananjaya, bind Me, who remains like one unconcerned and not attached to these acts." Although the Lord with the help of His Prakriti brings forth the multitude of beings, in truth, He is actionless. All action is the doing of His Prakriti (primordial matter.) In the presence of a magnet, iron bits start moving. But the magnet remains motionless and unaffected. In the same way, in the presence of the Lord, His Prakriti gets animated and brings forth the entire mass of the created Universe. He only stands as the witness of all the actions of His Prakriti. The Lord is the greatest magnet. He activates His Prakriti and makes individual souls come out and take forms according to their tendencies. Actions of Prakriti like those of creation and destruction can never affect the Lord. As such He remains like one unconcerned (Udasinavat) like some indifferent spectator and unattached (asaktam) to those actions. The sense of doership of any action is absent in the Lord. As such He is not attached to the results of actions. Similarly, if a man also becomes free from the sense of doership and does not cling to the fruits of his actions, he is not bound by the reactions of his works. Otherwise, he also, like the silkworm, will get bound by his works. This is the idea.
