Bhagavad Gita Chapter 4 Verse 14
भगवद् गीता अध्याय 4 श्लोक 14

न मां कर्माणि लिम्पन्ति न मे कर्मफले स्पृहा।
इति मां योऽभिजानाति कर्मभिर्न स बध्यते।।4.14।।



हिंदी अनुवाद - स्वामी रामसुख दास जी ( भगवद् गीता 4.14)
।।4.13  4.14।।मेरे द्वारा गुणों और कर्मोंके विभागपूर्वक चारों वर्णोंकी रचना की गयी है। उस(सृष्टिरचना आदि) का कर्ता होनेपर भी मुझ अव्यय परमेश्वरको तू अकर्ता जान। कारण कि कर्मोंके फलमें मेरी स्पृहा नहीं है इसलिये मुझे कर्म लिप्त नहीं करते। इस प्रकार जो मुझे तत्त्वसे जान लेता है वह भी कर्मोंसे नहीं बँधता।


Rudra Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary


The very nature of transcendentalism is being shown  here  by  Lord  Krishna
declaring that actions of any type never affect Him even  if  they  are  for
the protection of the universe because He  is  not  touched  by  egoism  and
although He is the origin of all He is unattached and  desireless.  What  is
the use of saying Lord  Krishna  is  not  touched  by  them  when  even  His
devotees who know He is free from desire to fruits of  any  action  are  not
bound by their actions as well. This is because one who knows the  cause  of
Lord Krishnas being untouched by actions is due  to  the   absence  of  all
egoism, desires and attachments subsequently has their own egoism,   desires
and attachments evaporated.


Brahma Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary


Lord Krishna is declaring that actions do not bind Him as He has no  desires
to the rewards of any actions. This is not to imply that He  does  not  want
the best for creation but only He  is  equipoise  to  prakriti  or  material
nature. Even though the Supreme Lord wills the creation into  existence  and
always is the protector of dharma or eternal righteousness and  out  of  His
causeless mercy has the best wishes for its development He is  not  attached
to it. This knowledge of this attribute of the Supreme  Lord  removes  ones
own misconceptions of attachment and craving for rewards to the point  where
ones desires are not binding  by  performing  prescribed  Vedic  activities
exclusively. In this way a person of  Vedic  knowledge   so  inclined  would
able to attain moksa or freedom from the cycle of birth  and  death.  It  is
not that moksa comes to everyone automatically in  due  course  of  time  in
that case  the  whole  world  would  be  attaining  liberation  without  the
prerequisite knowledge. Therefore one   should  realise  the  atma  or  soul
within the heart by knowledge in the mind. By this eternal life is  achieved
by the spiritually wise. How is this eternity to be understood? As the  atma
is without beginning or ending ,  kala  or  time  is  without  beginning  or
ending.

Now begins the summation.

To emphasise the distinction between Lord Krishna and other living  entities
He twice uses the word mam karmani meaning actions do not bind  Me  and  mam
abhijanati meaning one who knows Me in truth.


Shri Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

Whosoever understands Lord Krishna as being the origin of  all  as  well  as
being transcendental to all will cease to entangle themselves  with  desires
and attachments to rewards which results in acquiring karma or reactions  to
actions which binds one to samsara or the cycle of birth and  death.  It  is
from past karmas that one is existing in their  present  lifetime  position.
Such a person possessing such knowledge and acting upon it appropriately  as
described in these verses will no longer be bound by karma.
