Verse 5.13

Verse 5.13: “Inwardly renouncing all actions, the embodied one, selfcontrolled, abides serenely within the nine-gated citadel, neither doing (anything himself), nor causing (it) to be done. (73)

Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:

The Karmayogin performs all actions in the same way as are done by others craving for fruit; and then he remains indifferent in regard to the actions, as if he did not do them at all. In whatever direction he then might turn, he finds happiness showering on him and wherever he dwells, there he finds the vision of Self abiding. While abiding in the body which has nine outlets, he is yet without a bodily life and having dropped all cravings for the fruit of the actions, he lives as if he did not perforin any actions.
