“One who sees all actions being performed by Nature alone and understands the self as a non-doer, truly sees.”
Commentary: This verse highlights the concept of action and the nature of the self. It states that all actions are performed by Nature (Prakriti) and that the true seer understands himself as a non-doer.
Nature is the driving force behind all actions. Everything in the universe operates according to the laws of nature and is influenced by various factors such as cause and effect, natural tendencies, and inherent qualities. Individuals are instruments through which these actions are manifested, but they are not the ultimate doers.
By recognizing yourself as the witness or observer of actions rather than the doer, you can develop a sense of detachment and transcend the illusion of personal attachment. This understanding leads to a state of non-identification with the actions and outcomes, allowing individuals to remain equanimous and unaffected by the results of their actions.
