English: He who is spiritual, who is pure, who has overcome his senses and his personal self, who has realized his highest self as the self of all, such a one, even though he acts, is not bound by his acts.
Learnings from Shloka 7:
- Purity supports freedom: A disciplined and purified person can act without becoming bound.
- Self-control changes action: Mastery over senses and ego makes action less selfish.
- See the same self in all: Spiritual maturity includes recognizing the self in every being.
