मयि सर्वाणि कर्माणि संन्यस्याध्यात्मचेतसा ।निराशीर्निर्ममो भूत्वा युध्यस्व विगतज्वरः ॥
mayi sarvāṇi karmāṇi saṃnyasyādhyātmacetasānirāśīrnirmamo bhūtvā yudhyasva vigatajvaraḥ
Giving up thy works to Me, with thy consciousness founded in the Self, free from desire and egoism, fight delivered from the fever of thy soul.
Gītā 3·30We have two selves, the apparent self, which is only the ego, that mental centre in us which takes up this mutable action of Prakriti, this mutable personality, and which says “I am this personality, I am this natural being who am doing these works,”—but the natural being is simply Nature, a composite of the gunas,—and the true self which is, indeed, the upholder, the possessor and the lord of Nature and figured in her, but is not itself the mutable natural personality. The way to be free must then be to get rid of the desires of this desire-soul and the false self-view of this ego.
The **Karmayogin**, weekly magazine edited by Sri Aurobindo, carried this verse on its cover.
