Commentaries

Non-dualism. The individual self and Brahman are one. The world is appearance (maya). Liberation through knowledge.

Sri Shankaracharya

।।5.7।।जब यह पुरुष सम्यक् ज्ञानप्राप्तिके उपायरूप योगसे युक्त विशुद्ध अन्तःकरणवाला विजितात्मा शरीरविजयी जितेन्द्रिय और सब भूतोंमें अपने आत्माको देखनेवाला अर्थात् जिसका अन्तरात्मा ब्रह्मासे लेकर स्तम्बपर्यन्त सम्पूर्ण भूतोंका आत्मरूप हो गया हो ऐसा यथार्थ ज्ञानी हो जाता है। तब इस प्रकार स्थित हुआ वह पुरुष लोकसंग्रह के लिये कर्म करता हुआ भी उनसे लिप्त नहीं होता अर्थात् कर्मोंसे नहीं बँधता। वास्तवमें वह कुछ करता भी नहीं है इसलिये आत्माके यथार्थ स्वरूपका नाम तत्त्व है उसको जाननेवाला तत्त्वज्ञानी परमार्थदर्शी समाहित होकर ऐसे माने कि मैं कुछ भी नहीं करता।

Swami Gambirananda

5.7 Endowed with yoga, [i.e. devoted to the performance of the nitya and naimittika duties.] pure in mind, controlled in body, a coneror of the organs, the Self of the selves of all beings-he does not become tainted even while performing actions. [The construction of the sentence is this: When this person resorts to nitya and naimittika rites and duties as a means to the achievement of fully Illumination, and thus becomes fully enlightened, then, even when he acts through the apparent functions of the mind, organs, etc., he does not become afflected.]
