THE BHAGAVAD-GITA.
Who sitteth, controlling the organs of action, but dwelling in his mind[1] on the objects of the senses, that bewildered man is called a hypocrite. (6)
यस्त्विन्द्रियाणि मनसा नियम्यारभतेऽर्जुन ।
कर्मेन्द्रियैः कर्मयोगमसक्तः स विशिष्यते ॥ ७ ॥
But who, controlling the senses by the mind[1], O Arjuna, with the organs of action without attachment, performeth yoga by action[2], he is worthy. (7)
नियतं कुरु कर्म त्वं कर्म ज्यायो ह्यकर्मणः ।
शरीरयात्राऽपि च ते न प्रसिध्येदकर्मणः ॥ ८ ॥
Perform thou right[3] action, for, action is superior to inaction, and, inactive, even the maintenance of thy body would not be possible. (8)
