श्रीमद् भगवद्गीता

मूल श्लोकः

योगस्थः कुरु कर्माणि सङ्गं त्यक्त्वा धनञ्जय।

सिद्ध्यसिद्ध्योः समो भूत्वा समत्वं योग उच्यते।।2.48।।

 

Hindi Translation Of Sri Shankaracharya's Sanskrit Commentary By Sri Harikrishnadas Goenka

।।2.48।।यदि कर्मफलसे प्रेरित होकर कर्म नहीं करने चाहिये तो फिर किस प्रकार करने चाहिये इसपर कहते हैं

हे धनंजय योगमें स्थित होकर केवल ईश्वरके लिय कर्म कर। उनमें भी ईश्वर मुझपर प्रसन्न हों। इस आशारूप आसक्तिको भी छोड़कर कर।
फलतृष्णारहित पुरुषद्वारा कर्म किये जानेपर अन्तःकरणकी शुद्धिसे उत्पन्न होनेवाली ज्ञानप्राप्ति तो सिद्धि है और उससे विपरीत ( ज्ञानप्राप्तिका न होना ) असिद्धि है ऐसी सिद्धि और असिद्धिमें भी सम होकर अर्थात् दोनोंको तुल्य समझकर कर्म कर।
वह कौनसा योग है जिसमें स्थित होकर कर्म करनेके लिये कहा है यही जो सिद्धि और असिद्धिमें समत्व है इसीको योग कहते हैं।

English Translation of Ramanuja's Sanskrit Commentary By Swami Adidevananda

2.48 Abandoning the attachment to kingdom, relatives etc., and established in Yoga, engage in war and such other activities. Perform these with eanimity as regards success and failure resulting from victory etc., which are inherent in them. This eanimity with regard to success and failure is called here by the term Yoga, in the expression 'established in Yoga.' Yoga is eanimity of mind which takes the form of evenness in success and failure. Sri Krsna explains why this is repeatedly said:

English Translation Of Sri Shankaracharya's Sanskrit Commentary By Swami Gambirananda

2.48 If action is not to be undertaken by one who is under the impulsion of the fruits of action, how then are they to be undertaken? This is being stated: Yogasthah, by becoming established in Yoga; O Dhanajaya, kuru, undertake; karmani, actions, for the sake of God alone; even there, tyaktva, casting off; sangam, attachment, in the form, 'God will be pleased with me.' ['Undertake work for pleasing God, but not for propitiating Him to become favourable towards yourself.'] Undertake actions bhutva, remaining; samah, eipoised; siddhi-asidhyoh, in success and failure even in the success characterized by the attainment of Knowledge that arises from the purification of the mind when one performs actions without hankering for the results, and in the failure that arises from its opposite. [Ignorance, arising from the impurity of the mind.] What is that Yoga with regard to being established in which it is said, 'undertake'? This indeed is that: the samatvam, eanimity in success and failure; ucyate, is called; yogah, Yoga.
