Chapter 5 : Karma Sanyas Yoga - The Yoga of renunciation

Ch 05 : Sh 14

न कर्तृत्वं न कर्माणि लोकस्य सृजति प्रभुः ।
न कर्मफलसंयोगं स्वभावस्तु प्रवर्तते ।

Transliteration

na kartṛtvaṃ na karmāṇi lokasya sṛjati prabhuḥ |
na karma phala saṃyogaṃ svabhāvastu pravartate ||

Translation

The master [of the body—the ātman] does not initiate agency, nor actions, nor union with the fruits of actions in relation to the world (of embodied beings); it is the inherent tendencies alone that function.
