Verse 9·9

Nature acts through my intelligence

Verse

न च मां तानि कर्माणि निबध्नन्ति धनञ्जय ।उदासीनवदासीनम् असक्तं तेषु कर्मसु ॥

na ca māṃ tāni karmāṇi nibadhnanti dhanañjayaudāsīnavadāsīnam asaktaṃ teṣu karmasu

Nor do these works bind me, O Dhananjaya, for I am seated as if indifferent above, unattached to those actions.

Gītā 9·9

The silent self that pervades and supports the cosmos is not affected by its changes because, though supporting, it does not participate in them. This greatest supreme supracosmic Self also is not affected because it exceeds and eternally transcends them.
