Who is speaking and story frame
करोति कर्म क्रियते च जन्तु:
केनाप्यसौ चोदित आनिपातात् ।
न तत्र विद्वान् प्रकृतौ स्थितोऽपि
निवृत्ततृष्ण: स्वसुखानुभूत्या ॥ ३० ॥
karoti karma kriyate ca jantuḥ
kenāpy asau codita ā-nipātāt
na tatra vidvān prakṛtau sthito ’pi
nivṛtta-tṛṣṇaḥ sva-sukhānubhūtyā
An ordinary living entity performs material work and is transformed by the reaction to such work. Thus he is driven by various desires to continue working fruitively up to the very moment of his death. A wise person, however, having experienced his own constitutional bliss, gives up all material desires and does not engage in fruitive work.
