THE BHAGAVAD-GITA.
प्रकृत्यैव च कर्माणि क्रियमाणानि सर्वशः ।
यः पश्यति तथाऽऽत्मानमकर्तारं स पश्यति ॥ ३० ॥
He who seeth that Matter[1] verily performeth all actions, and that the Self is actionless, he seeth. (30)
यदा भूतपृथग्भावमेकस्थमनुपश्यति ।
तत एव च विस्तारं ब्रह्म संपद्यते तदा ॥ ३१ ॥
When he perceiveth the diversified existence of beings as rooted in One, and spreading forth from it, then he reacheth the Eternal (31)
अनादित्वान्निर्गुणत्वात्परमात्माऽयमव्ययः ।
शरीरस्थोऽपि कौन्तेय न करोति न लिप्यते ॥ ३२ ॥
Being beginningless and without qualities[2], the imperishable supreme Self, though seated in the body, O Kaunteya, worketh not nor is affected. (32)
