Swami Sarvapriyananda teaches Verses 13-15 from the Fifth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita. This series of talks unfolds the highest truths of Vedanta through the study of "The song of God".

🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 5, Verse 13:

सर्वकर्माणि मनसा संन्यस्यास्ते सुखं वशी |

नवद्वारे पुरे देही नैव कुर्वन्न कारयन् || 13||

sarva-karmāṇi manasā sannyasyāste sukhaṁ vaśhī

nava-dvāre pure dehī naiva kurvan na kārayan

🔴Mentally renouncing all works, and self-controlled, the embodied being happily sits in the nine-gated city, neither working nor causing others to work.

🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 5, Verse 14:

न कर्तृत्वं न कर्माणि लोकस्य सृजति प्रभु: |

न कर्मफलसंयोगं स्वभावस्तु प्रवर्तते || 14||

na kartṛitvaṁ na karmāṇi lokasya sṛijati prabhuḥ

na karma-phala-saṅyogaṁ svabhāvas tu pravartate

🔴The Lord creates neither agency not objects for the world; not contact with the fruits of works; rather, the nature of things operates.

🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 5, Verse 12:

नादत्ते कस्यचित्पापं न चैव सुकृतं विभु: |

अज्ञानेनावृतं ज्ञानं तेन मुह्यन्ति जन्तव: || 15||

nādatte kasyachit pāpaṁ na chaiva sukṛitaṁ vibhuḥ

ajñānenāvṛitaṁ jñānaṁ tena muhyanti jantavaḥ

🔴 The mighty Being accepts nobody's sin or merit. Knowledge is shrouded in ignorance; therefore are living beings deluded.
