कायेन मनसा बुद्ध्या केवलैरिन्द्रियैरपि । योगिनः कर्म कुर्वन्ति सङ्गं त्यक्त्वात्मशुद्धये॥६-२७-११॥

By body, mind, intellect, and even by the senses alone, yogins perform action, having abandoned attachment, for self-purification.

english translation

युक्तः कर्मफलं त्यक्त्वा शान्तिमाप्नोति नैष्ठिकीम् । अयुक्तः कामकारेण फले सक्तो निबध्यते॥६-२७-१२॥

The disciplined person, having abandoned the fruit of action, attains steadfast peace. The undisciplined person, driven by desire, becomes bound by attachment to results.

english translation

सर्वकर्माणि मनसा संन्यस्यास्ते सुखं वशी । नवद्वारे पुरे देही नैव कुर्वन्न कारयन्॥६-२७-१३॥

Having mentally renounced all actions, the self-controlled embodied being abides at ease in the city of nine gates, neither acting nor causing action.

english translation

न कर्तृत्वं न कर्माणि लोकस्य सृजति प्रभुः । न कर्मफलसंयोगं स्वभावस्तु प्रवर्तते॥६-२७-१४॥

The Lord does not create for the world either doership or actions, nor the conjunction with the fruits of action; rather, intrinsic nature (svabhāva) operates.

english translation

नादत्ते कस्यचित्पापं न चैव सुकृतं विभुः । अज्ञानेनावृतं ज्ञानं तेन मुह्यन्ति जन्तवः॥६-२७-१५॥

The all-pervading Lord takes on neither anyone’s wrongdoing nor anyone’s merit. Knowledge is veiled by ignorance; therefore beings become deluded.
