Bhagavad Gita · Moksha Sannyasa YogaChapter 18, Shloka 16 (18.16)
Original Sanskrit · श्रीभगवान्
तत्रैवं सति कर्तारमात्मानं केवलं तु यः
पश्यत्यकृतबुद्धित्वान्न स पश्यति दुर्मतिः
॥ 18.16 ॥
tatraivaṃ sati kartāramātmānaṃ kevalaṃ tu yaḥ
paśyatyakṛtabuddhitvānna sa paśyati durmatiḥ
Translation
"This being so, one who, because of an untrained intellect, sees the Self alone as the doer — that person of poor understanding does not see (the truth)."
Interpretation
Shankaracharya. ātmānanyatvena; Shankara — the pure Self is a non-doer; to regard it as the doer is delusion.
Acharya Ramanuja. paramātmānumatipūrvake jīvātmanaḥ kartṛtve sati — the individual soul's doership is with the consent of the Supreme Self.
