Verse 14

The Yoga of Renunciation

The embodied spirit, master in the city of his body, does not create activities, nor does he induce people to act, nor does he create the fruits of action. All this is enacted by the modes of material nature.

Context & Meaning

The Self does not create the sense of doership, the actions, or their results — nature (svabhava / prakriti) performs all of this. The Self is the witness-lord within, uninvolved in the mechanics of action.
