TEXT 10
- न द्वेष्ट्यकुशलं कर्म कुशले नानुषज्जते ।
- त्यागी सत्त्वसमाविष्टो मेधावी छिन्नसंशयः ॥१०॥
- na dveṣṭy akuśalaṁ karma
- kuśale nānuṣajjate
- tyāgī sattva-samāviṣṭo
- medhāvī chinna-saṁśayaḥ
nanever — never; dveṣṭihates — hates; akuśalaminauspicious — inauspicious; karmawork — work; kuśalein the auspicious — in the auspicious; nanor — nor; anuṣajjatebecomes attached — becomes attached; tyāgīthe renouncer — the renouncer; sattvain goodness — in goodness; samāviṣṭaḥabsorbed — absorbed; medhāvīintelligent — intelligent; chinnahaving cut off — having cut off; saṁśayaḥall doubts — all doubts.
The intelligent renouncer situated in the mode of goodness, neither hateful of inauspicious work nor attached to auspicious work, has no doubts about work.
A person in Kṛṣṇa consciousness or in the mode of goodness does not hate anyone or anything which troubles his body. He does work in the proper place and at the proper time without fearing the troublesome effects of his duty. Such a person situated in transcendence should be understood to be most intelligent and beyond all doubts in his activities.
