Verily, it is not possible for an embodied being to abandon actions completely; he who abandons the fruits of actions is verily said to be an abandoner. 12. The threefold fruit of action - evil, good and mixed - accrues after death to non-abandoners, but never to abandoners. 13. These five factors in the accomplishment of all action, know thou from Me, O mighty-armed, as taught in the Sankhya which is the end of action. 14. The seat and actor and the various organs and the several functions of various sorts and the Divinity also, the fifth among these. 15. Whatever action a man does by the body, speech and mind, right or the opposite, these five are its causes. 16. Now, such being the case, verily, he who as untrained in understanding, looks on the pure Self as the agent, that man of perverted intelligence sees not. 17. He who is free from egotistic notion, whose mind is not tainted - though he kills these creatures, he kills not, he is not bound. 18. Knowledge, the object known, the knower, (form) the threefold impulse to action; the organ, the end, the agent, from the threefold basis of action. 19. Knowledge and action and the agent are said in the science of gunas to be of three kinds only, according to the distinction in gunas. Hear thou duly of them. 20. That by which a man sees the one Indestructible Reality in all beings, inseparate in the separated --hat knowledge know thou as Sattvic. to be continued...
