Bhagavad Gita 5.11-15

Bhagavad Gita. Chapter 5, verses 11 to 15.

VERSE 11Yogis, having abandoned attachment, perform actions only by the body, mind, intellect, and even by the senses, for the purification of the self.

VERSE 12The united one (the well poised or the harmonised) having abandoned the fruit of action attains to the eternal peace: the non-united only (the unsteady or the unbalanced) impelled by desire, attached to the fruit, is bound.

VERSE 13Mentally renouncing all actions and self-controlled, the embodied one rests happily in the nine-gated city, neither acting nor causing others (body and senses) to act.

VERSE 14Neither agency nor actions does the Lord create for the world, nor union with the fruits of actions. But it is Nature that acts.

VERSE 15The Lord takes neither the demerit nor even the merit of any; knowledge is enveloped by ignorance, thery beings are deluded.

May this wisdom bring peace to your heart. Om, shanti, shanti, shanti.
