यः शास्त्रविधिमुत्सृज्य वर्तते कामकारतः।
न स सिद्धिमवाप्नोति न सुखं न परां गतिम्।।16.23।।
श्रीमद् भगवद्गीता
मूल श्लोकः
English Commentary By Swami Sivananda
16.23 यः who, शास्त्रविधिम् the ordinance of the scriptures, उत्सृज्य having cast aside, वर्तते acts, कामकारतः under the impulse of desire, न not, सः he, सिद्धिम् perfection, अवाप्नोति attains, न not, सुखम् happiness, न not, पराम् Supreme, गतिम् Goal.
Commentary:
He who does not care for the Self, who gives free rein to these three sins, is a traitor to the Self. He who has renounced the authority of the Vedas which, like a mother, is eally disposed and kind to all, and which, like a beaconlight, points out what is good and what is evil, does not attain perfection nor happiness nor the Supreme Goal. He who pays no attention to prescribed actions and follows the promptings of desire awakened by the senses, does not obtain God.
Hindi Translation Of Sri Shankaracharya's Sanskrit Commentary By Sri Harikrishnadas Goenka
।।16.23।।इस समस्त आसुरी सम्पत्तिके त्यागका और कल्याणमय आचरणोंका? मूल कारण शास्त्र है? शास्त्रप्रमाणसे ही दोनों किये जा सकते हैं? अन्यथा नहीं? अतः --, जो मनुष्य शास्त्रके विधानको? अर्थात् कर्तव्यअकर्तव्यके ज्ञानका कारण जो विधिनिषेधबोधक आदेश है उसको? छोड़कर कामनासे प्रयुक्त हुआ बर्तता है? वह न तो सिद्धिको -- पुरुषार्थकी योग्यताको पाता है? न इस लोकमें सुख पाता है और न परम गतिको अर्थात् स्वर्ग या मोक्षको ही पाता है।
