Rudra Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary


Lord Krishna has expounded previously that for  one  who  has  not  purified
their mind karma yoga or prescribed  Vedic  activities  without  desire  for
rewards was best. This  is  because  without  a  purified  mind  it  is  not
possible to renounce actions internally as well and actions  without  desire
are superior to renunciation of  actions  with  internal  desires.  But  the
person  who  is  self  controlled   and   has   purified   their   mind   by
discrimination, renouncing all thoughts and actions that distracts one  atma
tattva or realisation of the soul, such an embodied  being  completely  free
from false ego, devotes themselves to Vedic knowledge  contentedly  residing
in the city of nine gates consisting of the seven gates in  the  head  being
two ears, two eyes, two nostrils, one mouth and  the  two  gates  below  the
navel being the organs of generation and excretion which comprise  the  nine
gates of the physical body which is just like a  city  and  which  the  self
controlled  person  does  not  identify  with.  Merely  by  the  absence  of
identifying oneself as the physical body  one  neither  acts  through  their
body or causes their body to act  having  no  conception  of  proprietorship
over it. Hence this is the differentiation from one who is an  uncontrolled,
impure minded person who always fails attempting to  renounce,  thwarted  by
their desires and harassed by their hankerings.


Brahma Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary





Again Lord Krishna emphasises  renunciation  of  all  actions  by  the  mind
especially the relinquishing of pride.



Now begins the summation.





By performing yagna or offerings of worship in propitiation to  the  Supreme
Lord and meditation on the Brahman or  spiritual  substratum  pervading  all
existence and other such prescribed  Vedic  activities  merit  is  acquired.
Since in reality the atma or soul is not independent  as  such  all  actions
performed are factually non-action.  Just  as  respect  to  the  father  and
mother is the duty of the children in the same way the living  entities  are
subservient to the Supreme Lord through the propitiation to the atma is  the
duty of all humans. This is given in a treatise known as Pravritti. Thus  it
can be understood by one who comprehends their intrinsic dependence  on  the
Supreme Lord is that it is solely by the mind that  renunciation  of  desire
for rewards duly manifests in ones actions.


Shri Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary


Discerning in the mind that all authorship of any action resides within  the
physical body and is  the  cause  by  which  the  atma  or  soul  within  is
compromised due  to  the  reactions  from  past  life  activities.  One  can
distinguish that authorship of actions are not  an  essential  attribute  of
the atma and thus  the  embodied  atma  shall  assign  all  actions  to  the
authority of the physical body. Then  remaining  content,  independent  from
the body one performs no action  as  a  consequence  of  being  a  passenger
residing within the body ceases to cause the body to act.  The  exact,  true
nature of the independent atma Lord Krishna reveals next.
