Mucho más bajo que el Yoga de la sabiduría es la acción, oh Arjuna. Busca refugio en la sabiduría; Desdichados aquellos cuyo motivo es el fruto.
Comentario
Action done with evenness of mind is Yoga of wisdom. The yogi who is established in the Yoga of widdom is not affected by success or failure. He does not seek fruits of his actions. He has poised reason. His reason is rooted in the Self. Action performed by one who expects fruits for his actions? is far inferior to the Yoga of wisdom wherein the seeker does not seek fruits because the former leads to bondage and is the cause of birth and death. (Cf.VIII.18).
