All beings are dominated by their governing property
and act under its compulsion.
The sage who is blessed with perception
also makes his efforts in accordance with his nature.
Ordinary men abide in their actions
and the wise in their Self.
Everyone acts according to the
inescapable demands of his nature.
This is a self-evident and incontrovertible truth.
Deluded men,
drunk with attachment and lacking in discrimination,
who do not wage war in a state of meditation
in which there is complete self-surrender
as well as freedom from desire,
self-interest, and grief,
are
deprived of the ultimate bliss.
