Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 5 verse 13


Chapter 5 verse 13

“Mentally renouncing all actions and fully self-controlled, the embodied one rests happily in the city of nine gates, neither acting or causing body and senses to act”

Lord gets poetic in this verse by referring to the body as the one which has 9 gates- it is both poetic and scientific fact. He further says that acting without desires by controlling the body, senses leads one to a state of non-action while still acting. This state has to be experienced and cannot be theoretically understood.
