Sanskrit
न द्वेष्ट्यकुशलं कर्म कुशले नानुषज्जते । त्यागी सत्त्वसमाविष्टो मेधावी छिन्नसंशयः ॥ १० ॥
na dveṣṭy akuśalaṃ karma kuśale nānuṣajjate tyāgī sattvasamāviṣṭo medhāvī chinnasaṃśayaḥ
Translation
The relinquisher pervaded by purity, intelligent and with doubts cut away, hateth not unpleasurable action nor is attached to pleasurable.
Annie Besant · The Bhagavad-Gita, translated by Annie Besant (4th ed., 1922) — Wikisource · Public Domain
Explanation
Krishna sketches the psychological profile of this sattvic relinquisher: purified, intelligent, free of doubt, and — tellingly — someone who neither hates unpleasant duty nor clings to pleasant duty. This even-handedness toward the work itself, independent of whether it happens to be agreeable, is the same equanimity chapter 2 demanded toward outcomes, here relocated to the felt texture of the task.
