THE TRUE KNOWER

12. Dharma (ritualistic or meritori-
ous works), Artha (worldly prosperity),
Kâma (sense-enjoyment), or discrimina-
tion has no significance for the Yogi who
has transcended such dual notions as 'this
is done' and 'this is not done.'
[Dual etc. The relative consciousness is infested
with the pairs of opposites, of which the sense of
'done and not done' is typical. We are always active
under the impulse of desire, securing some objects of
desire and seeking others. This desire is at the root
of all Dharma, Artha and Kâma, and also of discri-
mination for were we not bound and blinded by
desire, there would be no necessity for us to discrimi-
nate the real from the unreal; the unreal would
simply not exist for us. One free from the pairs of
opposites has, therefore, no use for Dharma, Artha
and Kâma.]
कृत्यं किमपि नैवास्ति न कापि हृदि रञ्जना ।
यथा जीवनमेवेह जीवन्मुक्तस्य योगिनः ॥ १.३॥
जीवन्मुक्तस्य Liberated while living योगिनः of the Yogi
किम् अपि any कृत्य duty न not अस्ति is हृदि at heart का अपि
any रञ्जना attachment न not (अस्ति is अस्य कृत्यम् his duty )
इह in this world यथाजीवनम् pertaining to life एव only.
13. The Yogi who is liberated' while
living, has neither any duty nor any
