।।5.7।। जिसकी इन्द्रियाँ अपने वशमें हैं, जिसका अन्तःकरण निर्मल है, जिसका शरीर अपने वशमें है और सम्पूर्ण प्राणियोंकी आत्मा ही जिसकी आत्मा है, ऐसा कर्मयोगी कर्म करते हुए भी लिप्त नहीं होता।
In English by Swami Sivananda
5.7 योगयुक्तः devoted to the path of action, विशुद्धात्मा a man of purified mind, विजितात्मा one who has conered the self, जितेन्द्रियः one who has subdued his senses, सर्वभूतात्मभूतात्मा one who realises his Self as the Self in all beings, कुर्वन् acting, अपि even, न not, लिप्यते is tainted.Commentary He who is harmonised by Yoga, i.e., he who has purified his mind by devotion to the performance of action, who has conered the body and who has subjugated the senses, whose Self is the Self of all beings, he will not be bound by actions although he performs actions for the wellbeing or protection of the masses in orer to set an example to them. (Cf.XVIII.17)
In Hindi by Swami Ramsukhdas
5.7।। व्याख्या--'जितेन्द्रियः' इन्द्रियाँ वशमें होनेका तात्पर्य है--इन्द्रियोंका राग-द्वेषसे रहित होना। राग-द्वेषसे रहित होनेपर इन्द्रियोंमें मनको विचलित करनेकी शक्ति नहीं रहती (टिप्पणी प0 287.1)। साधक उनको अपने मनके अनुकूल चाहे जहाँ लगा सकता है।कर्मयोगके साधकके लिये इन्द्रियोंका वशमें होना आवश्यक है। इसीलिये भगवान् कर्मयोगके प्रकरणमें इन्द्रियोंको वशमें करनेकी बात विशेषरूपसे कहते हैं; जैसे--'यस्त्विन्द्रियाणि मनसा नियम्य' (3। 7) ;'तस्मात्त्वमिन्द्रियाण्यादौ नियम्य' (3। 41)। कर्मयोगीका कर्मोंके साथ अधिक सम्बन्ध रहता है; इसलिये इन्द्रियाँ वशमें न होनेसे उसके विचलित होनेकी सम्भावना रहती है। कर्मयोगके साधनमें दूसरोंके हितके लिये सेवारूपसे कर्तव्य-कर्म करना आवश्यक है, जिसके लिये इन्द्रियोंका वशमें होना बहुत जरूरी है। इन्द्रियाँ वशमें हुए बिना कर्मयोगका साधन होना कठिन है।
