yuktah, merged in yoga.-Tr.], he should make<br />

them do [Another reading is yojayet, meaning the<br />

same as josayet.-Tr.] all the duties.<br />

English Translation of Sri Sankaracharya's Sanskrit<br />

Commentary - Swami Gambhirananda<br />

3.26 Vidvan the enlightened man; na janayet,<br />

should not create; buddhi-bhedam, disturbance in<br />

the beliefs-disturbance in the firm belief, 'This has<br />

to be done; and the result of this action is to be<br />

reaped by me'; ajnanam, of the ignorant, of the<br />

non-discriminating one; karma-sanginam, who are<br />

attached to work. But what should he do? Himself<br />

samacaran, working, performing those very<br />

activities of the ignorant; yuktah, while remaining<br />

diligent; josayet, he should make them do; sarvakarmani,<br />

all the duties. How does an anillumined,<br />

ignorant person be come attached to actions? In<br />

reply the Lord says:<br />

3.27 While actions are being done in every way by<br />

the gunas (qualities) of Nature, one who is deluded<br />

by egoism thinks thus: 'I am the doer.'<br />
