Translation: (Tattavvit’) Tatvdarshi (yuktH) a yogi / bhakt engrossed in God (pashyan’) while seeing (shrnvan’) while hearing (sprshan’) while touching (jighran’) while smelling (ashnn’) while eating (gachchhan’) while walking (swapan’) while sleeping (shwasan’) while breathing (pralpan’) while speaking (visrjan’) while giving (grhnan’) while taking and (unmishan’) while opening eyes and (nimishan’) while closing eyes (api) even (indryaani) all senses (indriyaartheshu) in their own objects (vartante) are operating i.e. I do not do any evil act (iti) thus (dhaaryan’) considering (ev) certainly (iti) this (manyet) believes that I (kinchit’) anything (na) not (karomi) do i.e. do not perform an act which incurs sin. (8-9)
Gita 5.8-9: Tatvdarshi – a yogi / bhakt engrossed in God even while seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, eating, walking, sleeping, breathing, speaking, giving, taking, opening eyes and closing eyes, considering this that all the senses are operating in their own objects i.e. I do not do any evil act. He certainly believes this that I do not do anything i.e. do not perform an act which incurs sin.
The meaning is that whatever is happening is only happening by God’s grace. A living being can not do anything. One who acts according to the law of God remains happy and attains salvation. One who acts against it incurs loss.
