Chapter 2, Verse 51
Part of 2: Sānkhya Yog — सांख्ययोगकर्मजं बुद्धियुक्ता हि फलं त्यक्त्वा मनीषिणः। जन्मबन्धविनिर्मुक्ताः पदं गच्छन्त्यनामयम्॥
karma-jaṁ buddhi-yuktā hi phalaṁ tyaktvā manīṣhiṇaḥ janma-bandha-vinirmuktāḥ padaṁ gachchhanty-anāmayam
The wise, possessing knowledge, having abandoned the fruits of their actions, and being freed from the bonds of birth, go to the place which is beyond all evil.
Clinging to the fruits of actions is the cause of rirth. Man takes a body to enjoy them. If anyone performs actions for the sake of God in fulfilment of His purpose without desire for the fruits, he is released from the bonds of birth and attains to the blissful state or the immortal abode. Sages who possess evenness of mind abandon the fruits of their actions and thus escape from good and bad actions. Buddhi referred to in the three verses 49? 50 and 51 may be the wisdom of the Sankhyas, i.e., the knowledge of the Self or AtmaJnana which dawns when the mind is purified by Karma Yoga.
