यस्य नाहंकृतो भावो बुद्धिर्यस्य न लिप्यते।हत्वापि स इमाँल्लोकान्न हन्ति न निबध्यते ॥

I will explain to thee, O Arjuna, the characterisitics of the man who has transcended activity, and who has gone beyond the bonds of Karma.When selfishnes and egoism are destroyed, when desire and personal gain are renounced, actions cannot bind a man. He knows that the Self is not destroyed when the body perishes. He has no idea of agency. The act of killing itself, in his case, becomes one necessary for the peace and harmony of the world. His killing without desire is like the killing of a murderer by the executioner and the judge on behalf of the community for the preservation of peace and harmony in the world.He who has a trained intellect, pure understanding and developed reason, who has a knowledge of the scriptures, who has devoted himself to the study of the scriptures, who is eipped with the knowledge of logic, who is well trained by the instructions of his preceptor, is absolutely free from the egoistic notion that I am the agent or the doer. He knows perfectly well that Nature or Guna or ones own nature does everything. He thus thinks I am the silent witness of all activities. I am not the doer. These five (the body, the actor, etc.) which are superimposed on the pure, actionless Self through ignorance are the causes of all actions. I do not do anything.
