कर्मनैष्कर्म्यनिर्बन्धभावा देहस्थयोगिनः, संयोगायोगविरहादहमासे यथासुखम्। ॥2॥
karma-naiṣkarmya-nirbandha-bhāvā dehastha-yoginaḥ, saṁyogāyoga-virahād-aham-āse yathā-sukham. (2)
This verse suggests that those who are focused on their physical existence often get caught up in the need to act or not act. In contrast, true happiness comes from being free from these attachments and simply living in a state of peace.
