।।18.7।। नियत कर्म का त्याग उचित नहीं है; मोहवश उसका त्याग करना "तामस त्याग" कहा गया है।।
18.7 नियतस्य obligatory? तु verily? संन्यासः renunciation? कर्मणः of action? न not? उपपद्यते is proper? मोहात् from delusion? तस्य of the same? परित्यागः abandonment? तामसः Tamasic? परिकीर्तितः is declared.Commentary Renunciation of obligatory action is not proper because it is purifying in the case of an ignorant man. Should a man renounce actions that he should perform as a duty? such renunciation can only be of the ality of darkness. Prescribed duties must not be abandoned and if anyone does
Non-dualism. The individual self and Brahman are one. The world is appearance (maya). Liberation through knowledge.
।।18.7।।अतः आत्मज्ञानरहित कर्माधिकारी मुमुक्षुके लिये --, विहित -- नित्यकर्मोंका संन्यास यानी परित्याग करना नहीं बन सकता? क्योंकि अज्ञानीके लिये नित्यकर्म शुद्धिके हेतु माने गये हैं। अतः मोहसे अज्ञानपूर्वक ( किया हुआ ) उन नित्यकर्मोंका परित्याग ( तामस कहा गया है )। नियत अवश्य कर्तव्यको कहते हैं? फिर उसका त्याग किया जाना अत्यन्त विरुद्ध है? अतः यह मोहनिमित्तक त्याग तामस कहा गया है। मोह ही तम है? यह प्रसिद्ध है।
