vijitatma, controlled in body; jitendriyah, a<br />

conqueror of the organs; and sarva-bhutatmabhutatma,<br />

the Self of the selves of all beings-one<br />

whose Self (atma), the inmost consciousness, has<br />

become the selves (atma) of all beings (sarvabhuta)<br />

beginning from Brahma to a clump of grass-<br />

, i.e., fully illumined; (then,) thus continuing in that<br />

state, he na lipyate, does not become tainted;<br />

kurvan api, even while performing actions for<br />

preventing mankind from going astray. That is to<br />

say, he does not become bound by actions. And<br />

besides, this person does not act in the real sense.<br />

Hence,<br />

5.8-5.9 Remaining absorbed in the Self, the knower<br />

of Reality should think, 'I certainly do not do<br />

anything', even while seeing, hearing, touching,<br />

smelling, eating, moving, sleeping, breathing,<br />

speaking, releasing, holding, opening and closing<br />

the eyes-remembering that the organs function in<br />

relation to the objects of the organs.<br />

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

Commentary - Swami Gambhirananda<br />

5.8 Yuktah, remaining absorbed in the Self; tattvavit,<br />

the knower of Reality-knower of the real nature<br />
