to the higher peace； The uttermost repose。 But those untaught； And those
without full faith； and those who fear Are shent； no peace is here or other
where； No hope； nor happiness for whoso doubts。 He that； being self…
contained； hath vanquished doubt； Disparting self from service； soul from
works； Enlightened and emancipate； my Prince！ Works fetter him no more！
Cut then atwain With sword of wisdom； Son of Bharata！ This doubt that
binds thy heart…beats！ cleave the bond Born of thy ignorance！ Be bold and
wise！ Give thyself to the field with me！ Arise！

CHAPTER V Arjuna。 Yet； Krishna！ at the one time thou dost laud
Surcease of works； and； at another time； Service through work。 Of these
twain plainly tell Which is the better way？
Krishna。 To cease from works Is well； and to do works in holiness Is
well； and both conduct to bliss supreme； But of these twain the better way
is his Who working piously refraineth not。
That is the true Renouncer； firm and fixed； Whoseeking nought；
rejecting noughtdwells proof Against the 〃opposites。〃＇FN#8＇ O valiant
Prince！ In doing； such breaks lightly from all deed： 'Tis the new scholar
talks as they were two； This Sankhya and this Yoga： wise men know Who
husbands one plucks golden fruit of both！ The region of high rest which
Sankhyans reach Yogins attain。 Who sees these twain as one Sees with
clear eyes！ Yet such abstraction； Chief！ Is hard to win without much
holiness。 Whoso is fixed in holiness； self…ruled； Pure…hearted； lord of
senses and of self； Lost in the common life of all which lives A
〃Yogayukt〃he is a Saint who wends Straightway to Brahm。 Such an one
is not touched By taint of deeds。 〃Nought of myself I do！〃 Thus will he
think…who holds the truth of truths In seeing； hearing； touching； smelling；
when He eats； or goes； or breathes； slumbers or talks； Holds fast or loosens；
opes his eyes or shuts； Always assured 〃This is the sense…world plays With
senses。〃He that acts in thought of Brahm； Detaching end from act； with act
content； The world of sense can no more stain his soul Than waters mar th'
enamelled lotus…leaf。 With life； with heart； with mind；…nay； with the help
Of all five sensesletting selfhood go Yogins toil ever towards their
souls' release。 Such votaries； renouncing fruit of deeds； Gain endless peace：
the unvowed； the passion…bound； Seeking a fruit from works； are fastened
down。 The embodied sage； withdrawn within his soul； At every act sits
godlike in 〃the town Which hath nine gateways；〃＇FN#9＇ neither doing
aught Nor causing any deed。 This world's Lord makes Neither the work；
nor passion for the work； Nor lust for fruit of work； the man's own self

evil deeds Of no mandwelling beyond！ Mankind errs here By folly；
darkening knowledge。 But； for whom That darkness of the soul is chased
by light； Splendid and clear shines manifest the Truth As if a Sun of

The Bhagavad…Gita； translated
Wisdom sprang to shed Its beams of dawn。 Him meditating still； Him
seeking； with Him blended； stayed on Him； The souls illuminated take that
road Which hath no turning backtheir sins flung off By strength of faith。
＇Who will may have this Light； Who hath it sees。＇ To him who wisely sees；
The Brahman with his scrolls and sanctities； The cow； the elephant； the
unclean dog； The Outcast gorging dog's meat； are all one。
The world is overcomeaye！ even here！ By such as fix their faith on
Unity。 The sinless Brahma dwells in Unity； And they in Brahma。 Be not
over…glad Attaining joy； and be not over…sad Encountering grief； but；
stayed on Brahma； still Constant let each abide！ The sage whose sou
Holds off from outer contacts； in himself Finds bliss； to Brahma joined by
piety； His spirit tastes eternal peace。 The joys Springing from sense…life are
but quickening wombs Which breed sure griefs： those joys begin and end！
The wise mind takes no pleasure； Kunti's Son！ In such as those！ But if a
man shall learn； Even while he lives and bears his body's chain； To master
lust and anger； he is blest！ He is the Yukta； he hath happiness；
Contentment； light； within： his life is merged In Brahma's life； he doth
Nirvana touch！ Thus go the Rishis unto rest； who dwell With sins effaced；
with doubts at end； with hearts Governed and calm。 Glad in all good they
live； Nigh to the peace of God； and all those live Who pass their days
exempt from greed and wrath； Subduing self and senses； knowing the
Soul！
The Saint who shuts outside his placid soul All touch of sense； letting
no contact through； Whose quiet eyes gaze straight from fixed brows；
Whose outward breath and inward breath are drawn Equal and slow
through nostrils still and close； That one…with organs； heart； and mind
constrained； Bent on deliverance； having put away Passion； and fear； and
rage；hath； even now； Obtained deliverance； ever and ever freed。 Yea！ for
he knows Me Who am He that heeds The sacrifice and worship； God
revealed； And He who heeds not； being Lord of Worlds； Lover of all that
lives； God unrevealed； Wherein who will shall find surety and shield！

CHAPTER VI
Krishna。 Therefore； who doeth work rightful to do； Not seeking gain
from work； that man； O Prince！ Is Sanyasi and Yogiboth in one And he is
neither who lights not the flame Of sacrifice； nor setteth hand to task。
Regard as true Renouncer him that makes Worship by work； for who
renounceth not Works not as Yogin。 So is that well said： 〃By w
