| 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!
HERE ENDETH CHAPTER V OF THE BHAGAVAD-GITA,
Entitled "Karmasanyasa yog," Or "The Book of Religion
by Renouncing Fruit of Works."
