II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

तो बुद्धियोग विवरितां I बहुतें पाडें पार्था I दिसे हा अरुता I कर्मभागु II 274 II
परी तेंचि कर्म आचरिजे I तरीच हा योगु पाविजे I जें कर्मशेष सहजें I योगस्थिति II 275 II
म्हणोनि बुद्धियोगु सधरु I तेथ अर्जुना होई स्थिरु I मनीं करें अव्हेरु फळहेतूचा II 276 II
जे बुद्धियोगा योजिले I तेचि पारंगत जाहले I इहीं उभयबंधीं सांडिले I पापपुण्यीं II 277 II

"Buddhi yog is a practice of acting with awareness. Karma may seem trivial to Buddhi yog but it is its means. This is because doing karma with controlling the mind, resisting worldly temptations and developing an unwavering intellect along with detaching oneself from the results of one's actions truly culminates into the state of a yogi. Lord Krishna said to Arjun, those who attain Buddhi yog transcend the mundane existence once and for all. For them the dual between the good merit of virtuous deeds and bad merit of sinful deeds ends."

ते कर्मीं तरी वर्तती I परी कर्मफळा नातळती I आणि यातायाति न लोपती I अर्जुना तयां II 278 II
मग निरामयभरित I पावती पद अच्युत I ते बुद्धियोगयुक्त I धनुर्धरा II 279 II

Lord Krishna said, they do karma but without attachment to the results and therefore they remain untouched by the otherwise endless cycle of death and rebirth. Through Buddhi yog they attain the state of Supreme Bliss or Sublime Delight characterized by a transcendent condition of ultimate happiness and contentment.
