Chapter 9: Rājavidyā-rājaguhya-yoga – Kingly Knowledge, Kingly Secret: Verse 9
न च मां तानि कर्माणि निबध्नन्ति धनञ्जय ।
उदासीनवदासीनमसक्तं तेषु कर्मसु ॥
na ca māṃ tāni karmāṇi
nibadhnanti dhanañjaya
udāsīnavad-āsīnamasaktaṃ
teṣu karmasu – 9.9
Those acts (of creation and dissolution) do not affect and bind Me, O Dhananjaya (Arjuna). For I am seated with lofty indifference, not clinging to those actions.
Chapter 9: Rājavidyā-rājaguhya-yoga – Kingly Knowledge, Kingly Secret - Verse 9
Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha
Creation abounds in amazing variety ranging from the best of goodness and beauty, to the worst of cruelty and ugliness. It needs everything. All must thrive alike, radiating the sweet, mysterious harmony.
During interactions, doubts and enquiries may grip the mind, leading to despair and dejection. Then one can only turn to their sole cause and source to be assuaged and enlightened!
If the human heart feels so much distress, how much should the Creator feel! Krishna says that as the originator and sustainer of all, he courts neither grief nor doubt and vacillation, as he remains neutral at heart, fostering no delusional clinging to the whole task – a point he has been stressing all along (5.14-15).
For the human too, this is the way for redemption, to be divine and transcendent like the Supreme itself!
