"Renouncing with the mind all actions,the dweller in the body,who is master of himself,rests happily in his city of nine gates,neither doing nor getting anything done."
The self-controlled man,that is ,the man established in the atman,mentally renounces all karma and lives to peace.To renounce all karma mentally means to make the mind indifferent to them,to withdraw it into an attitude of detachment towards work and feel that we are not doing what we are engaged in, that it is God who impels us to do it.Surely we do not feel,as we breathe,that we are breathing.We have mentally renounced that karma.It becomes necessary to breathe with a conscious effort of mind only when natural breathing is obstructed.At all other times,it goes on mechanically.The atman dwells,ever at rest,in this body with nine doors,doing nothing and causing nothing to be done.Though it may be working or acting to make others work,it will not be doing so it it has mentally renounc3ed karma
