सक्ताः कर्मण्यविद्वांसो यथा कुर्वन्ति भारत |
कुर्याद्विद्वांस्तथासक्तश्चिकीर्षुर्लोकसंग्रहम् ||३-२५||
saktāḥ karmaṇyavidvāṃso yathā kurvanti bhārata . kuryādvidvāṃstathāsaktaścikīrṣurlokasaṃgraham ||3-25||
।।3.25।। हे भारत ! कर्म में आसक्त हुए अज्ञानीजन जैसे कर्म करते हैं वैसे ही विद्वान् पुरुष अनासक्त होकर, लोकसंग्रह (लोक कल्याण) की इच्छा से कर्म करे।।
3.25 सक्ताः attached? कर्मणि to action? अविद्वांसः the ignorant? यथा as? कुर्वन्ति act? भारत O Bharata? कुर्यात् should act? विद्वान् the wise? तथा so? असक्तः unattached? चिकीर्षुः wishing? लोकसंग्रहम् the welfare of the world.Commentary The ignorant man works in expectation of fruits. He says? I will do such and such work and will get such and such fruit. But the wise man who knows the Self? serves not for his own end. He should so act that the world? following his example? would attain peace?
Non-dualism. The individual self and Brahman are one. The world is appearance (maya). Liberation through knowledge.
।।3.25।।यदि मेरी तरह तू या दूसरा कोई कृतार्थबुद्धि आत्मवेत्ता हो तो उसको भी अपने लिये कर्तव्यका अभाव होनेपर भी केवल दूसरोंपर अनुग्रह ( करनेके लिये कर्म ) करना चाहिये हे भारत इस कर्मका फल मुझे मिलेगा इस प्रकार कर्मोंमें आसक्त हुए कई अज्ञानी मनुष्य जैसे कर्म करते हैं आत्मवेत्ता विद्वान्को भी आसक्तिरहित होकर उसी तरह कर्म करना चाहिये। आत्मज्ञानी उसकी तरह कर्म क्यों करता है सो सुन वह लोकसंग्रह करनेकी इच्छावाला है ( इसलिये करता है )।

3.25 O scion of the Bharata dynasty, as the unelightened poeple act with attachment to work, so should the enlightened person act, without attachment, being desirous of the prevention of people from going astray.
