CHAPTER X
195
318. The enlightened Self equipped with complete nonattachment (merely) knows the fruits of various karmas, sweet or bitter. He therefore remains the non-enjoyer.
COMMENTARY
The knower, because he realises is own true nature, is uninfluenced by the environment, his own body or other enjoyable objects. Thus uninfluenced by these alien things and fully absorbed in the transcendental bliss of his own pure nature, he is not affected by the inferior type of pleasure-pain experience derived from sense-presented objects. Since he is unaffected by the objects of the perceptual world, he remains the abhokta or the on-enjoyer, though he is fully aware of the fact that good produces pleasure and evil produces pain.

जानाति पुनः कर्मफलं बन्धं पुण्यं च पाएं च ॥३१९॥
319. The knower neither produces the various kinds of karmas nor enjoys the fruits thereof, nevertheless he knows the nature of karmas and their results, either good or bad as well as the bondage.
दिट्ठी सयंपि णाणं अकारयं तह अवेदयं चेव । जाणइ य बंधमोक्खं कम्मुदयं णिजरं चेव ॥३२०॥ ditthi sayampi ņānam akārayan taha avedayam ceva jāņai ya bandhamokkham kammudayam nijjararı ceva (320) दृष्टिः स्वयमपि ज्ञानमकारक तथावेदकं चैव । बानाति च बन्धमोक्षौ कर्मोदयं निरां चैव ॥३२०॥
320. Knowledge, too, like sight is neither the doer nor the enjoyer (of karmas); but only knows the bondage, the release, the operation of karmas and the shedding of karmas.
