ASHTAVAKRA SAMHITA
The sense of duty, indeed, is the
world of relativity. It is transcended by
the wise who are of the form of the void,
formless, immutable and untainted.
[Sense etc.-It is from attachment to the
worldly objects that the sense of duty arises and
binds us more and more to the world, and thus sub
jects us to the rounds of births and rebirths. (See
also note 1, Verse 3, Chapter XVIII.)]
अकुर्वन्नपि संक्षोभाद् व्यग्रः सर्वत्र मूढधीः ।
कुर्वन्नपि तु कृत्यानि कुशलो हि निराकुलः ॥५८॥
मूढधी: One of dull intellect अकुर्वन् without doing
anything अपि even संचेोभात् owing to distraction सर्वत्र
at all times : agitated (afa is): the skilful
one but surely duties doing af even
निराकुल: unperturbed ( भवति is ).
58. One of dull intellect, even with-
out doing anything, is ever agitated by
distraction; but the skilful one, even doing
his duties, is verily unperturbed."
[Unperturbed-Because his mind is ever calm
and tranquil owing to the absence of any egotistic
feeling even in the midst of activities. Cf. XVIII.
29, 47, 49.]
सुखमास्ते सुखं शेते सुखमायाति याति च ।
सुखं वक्ति सुखं भुङ्क्ते व्यवहारेऽपि शान्तधीः ॥५६॥
