Sūtra translation
Badarayana thinks that the scriptural passage intends only a choice given to the wise to do or not to do anything that i8 permitted ; (but not that the wise is bound to do what is permitted); for Scripture declares (the wise) to be all the same whatever he may do.
Badarayana considers tbal the act or omission at will on the part of the wise is only with reference to some of the permitted duties. For the text, “ In whatever man- ner he may be, he is still only such (the wise) ” (Bri. V. 5. i.), declares that the wise is equally wise whether he may be doing or not doing (what is permitted). And this is clearly seen from the words of the glorious Krishna: “ He has nothing to do, who has attained to the bliss arising from the direct perception of the Supreme Being, who is satisfied with (the grace of) the Lord and feels no longing for other objects, and who finds the highest pleasure in the uninterrupted sight of the Lord” (Gita III. 17).
