Tap a word to reveal its meaning. Say each one aloud as you go.
In English
Action is the product of the qualities inherent in nature. It is only the ignorant man who, misled by personal egotism, says, "I am the doer."
Translated by Shri Purohit Swami
All actions are wrought in all cases by the qualities of Nature alone. He whose mind is deluded by egoism thinks, "I am the doer."
Translated by Swami Sivananda
