The fruit of acts consist of pleasure and pain, of existence and non-existence. By knowledge one attains to that where there is no occasion for grief; where one becomes freed from both birth and death; where one not subject to decrepitude; where one gets over the state of conscious existence; where is Brahma which is Supreme, Unmanifest, immutable, ever-existent, imperceptible, above the reach of pain, immortal, and transcending destruction; where all become freed from the influence of all pairs of opposites as also of wish or purpose. Raching that stage, they regard everything equally, become universal friends and devoted to the well being of all creatures. There is a huge gulf, O son, between one given to knowledge and one given to acts.
कर्मणः फलमाप्नोति सुखदुःखे भवाभवौ। विद्यया तदवाप्नोति यत्र गत्वा न शोचति॥ यत्र गत्वा न म्रियते यत्र गत्वा न जायते। न पुनर्जायते यत्र यत्र गत्वा न वर्तते॥ यत्र तद् ब्रह्म परममव्यक्तमचलं ध्रुवम्। अव्याकृतमनायासमव्यक्तं चावियोगि च॥ द्वन्द्वैर्न यत्र बाध्यन्ते मानसेन च कर्मणा। समाः सर्वत्र मैत्राश्च सर्वभूतहिते रताः॥
