| 11. And of the
energetic am I the energy devoid of passion and attachment ; and in (all
beings I am the desire unopposed to dharma, O lord of the Bharatas.Passion
(Kama): thirst for objects not present to the senses. attachment (raga):
love for those presented to the senses. I am that energy which is necessary
for the bare sustenance of the body, certainly not that which causes thirst
and attachment (for senseobjects) in the case of worldly mortals. So I am
the desire not opposed to the teaching of the scriptures: I am, for instance,
the desire for that much of eating and drinking, etc which is necessary
for the bare sustenance of the body. |
