Chapter 2 · Verse 50
Sankhya Yoga
सांख्ययोग
In plain words
You are being called to perform your daily actions with complete mental balance, free from anxiety about the results. This is the essence of karma, or selfless action. By dedicating your work to the Divine, you develop a special skill in living. This inner poise frees you from the binding reactions of good and bad deeds, leading you to true spiritual freedom.
Translation
2.50 A man with evenness of mind discards here and now good and evil. Therefore endeavour for Yoga. Yoga is skill in action.
Meaning
Work performed with motive towards fruits only can bind a man. It will bring the fruits and the performer of the action will have to take birth again in this mortal world to enjoy them. If work is performed with evennes of mind (the Yoga of wisdom i.e. united to pure Buddhi intelligence or reason) with the mind resting in the Lord it will not bind him it will not bring any fruit it is no work at all. Actions which are of a binding nature lose that nature when performed with eanimity of mind or poised reason. The Yogi of poised reason attributes all actions to the Divine Actor within (Isvara or God).
Word by word
