न द्वेष्ट्यकुशलं कर्म कुशले नानुषज्जते । त्यागी सत्त्वसमाविष्टो मेधावी छिन्नसंशयः ॥ १० ॥
na dveṣhṭy akuśhalaṁ karma kuśhale nānuṣhajjate tyāgī sattva-samāviṣhṭo medhāvī chhinna-sanśhayaḥ
Translation
The relinquisher, filled with sattva, wise and free from doubt, neither dislikes unpleasant work nor clings to pleasant work.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
जो अकुशल (अप्रिय) कर्म से द्वेष नहीं करता और कुशल (प्रिय) कर्म में आसक्त नहीं होता, वह सत्त्वगुण से युक्त, बुद्धिमान, संशय-रहित पुरुष सच्चा त्यागी है।
Commentary
A simple test of true renunciation: does one pick tasks by what one likes? The sattvic renouncer does what needs doing, whether pleasant or unpleasant, without resisting or grasping. That evenness is the sign of inner freedom.
