Chapter II · Śloka 51
कर्मजं बुद्धियुक्ता हि फलं त्यक्त्वा मनीषिणः |
जन्मबन्धविनिर्मुक्ताः पदं गच्छन्त्यनामयम् ||
जन्मबन्धविनिर्मुक्ताः पदं गच्छन्त्यनामयम् ||
karma-jaṃ buddhi-yuktā hi phalaṃ tyaktvā manīṣiṇaḥ |
janma-bandha-vinirmuktāḥ padaṃ gacchanty anāmayam ||
janma-bandha-vinirmuktāḥ padaṃ gacchanty anāmayam ||
The wise, united with the intellect, renounce the fruits born of action; freed from the bondage of birth, they attain the state that is beyond all suffering.
The logic is complete: buddhi-yoga → fruit-renunciation → liberation from the birth-and-death cycle. Anāmaya means literally 'free from disease' — the deepest health, which is freedom from existential suffering.
