Bhagavad Gita Chapter 9 - Rajavidya Rajaguhya Yoga - Sloka 9


The entire content of this mail is from Swami Chidbhavananda's translation of The Bhagavad Gita, published by Ramakrishna Mission

The Relationship between Saguna Brahman and Prakriti 1-10
1 Gita Sloka  every day - Chapter 9 - Rajavidya Rajaguhya Yoga - Sloka 9
Banyan tree of Creation
Na cha mam tani karmani nibandhanti dhananjay I
Udasina vat asinam  asaktam teshu karmasu II sloka 9
न च मां तानि कर्मणि निबन्धन्ति धनञ्जय Iउदासीन वत आसीनम् असक्तं तेषु कर्मसु II श्लोक 9


Nor do these acts, O Dhananjaya, bind me who remain like one unconcerned, unattached to these acts.

Karma pertains to all beings in prakriti and does not bind Iswara. The sadhaka in his turn has to practise being unconcerned and unattached  to the duty he discharges. And this the means of his self emancipation.
When egoism goes all miseries vanish along with it. When the devotee gets fixed in the conviction that whatever happens by the will of the Lord  and that he is merely an instrument in his hand, mukti is ensured for him in this very birth
Sri Ramakrishna Pramahamsa
