Translation

Når det legemliggjorte levende væsen behersker sin natur og mentalt forsager alle handlinger, bor han lykkeligt i byen med de ni porte [den materielle krop] og hverken handler eller forårsager handling.

When the embodied living being controls his nature and mentally renounces all actions, he resides happily in the city of nine gates [the material body], neither working nor causing work to be done.

Purport

FORKLARING: Den legemliggjorte sjæl bor i byen med de ni porte. Kroppens (eller den metaforiske kropslige bys) handlinger bliver automatisk styret af dens pågældende naturkvaliteter. Selv om sjælen har underkastet sig kroppens præmisser, kan han være hævet over disse betingelser, hvis han vil. Kun fordi sjælen har glemt sin højere natur, identificerer han sig med sin materielle krop og lider som følge deraf. Gennem Kṛṣṇa-bevidsthed kan han genvinde sin virkelige position og således undslippe sin legemliggørelse. Når man engagerer sig i Kṛṣṇa- bevidsthed, bliver man derfor omgående helt hævet over kropslige aktiviteter. I et sådant reguleret liv, hvor ens måde at tænke på er en anden, bor man lykkeligt i byen med de ni porte. De ni porte omtales som følger (Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad 3.18):

The embodied soul lives in the city of nine gates. The activities of the body, or the figurative city of body, are conducted automatically by its particular modes of nature. The soul, although subjecting himself to the conditions of the body, can be beyond those conditions, if he so desires. Owing only to forgetfulness of his superior nature, he identifies with the material body, and therefore suffers. By Kṛṣṇa consciousness, he can revive his real position and thus come out of his embodiment. Therefore, when one takes to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, one at once becomes completely aloof from bodily activities. In such a controlled life, in which his deliberations are changed, he lives happily within the city of nine gates. The nine gates are mentioned as follows:

nava-dvāre pure dehī
haṁso lelāyate bahiḥ
vaśī sarvasya lokasya
sthāvarasya carasya ca

“Alle universets levende væsener bliver styret af Guddommens Højeste Personlighed, der bor inde i det levende væsens krop. Kroppen består af ni porte [to øjne, to næsebor, to ører, en mund, anus og kønsorganerne]. I sin betingede tilstand identificerer det levende væsen sig med kroppen, men når han identificerer sig med Herren inde i kroppen, bliver han lige så fri som Herren, selv mens han er i sin krop.”

“The Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is living within the body of a living entity, is the controller of all living entities all over the universe. The body consists of nine gates [two eyes, two nostrils, two ears, one mouth, the anus and the genitals]. The living entity in his conditioned stage identifies himself with the body, but when he identifies himself with the Lord within himself, he becomes just as free as the Lord, even while in the body.” (Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad 3.18)

En Kṛṣṇa-bevidst person er således frigjort fra den materielle krops ydre såvel som indre aktiviteter.

Therefore, a Kṛṣṇa conscious person is free from both the outer and inner activities of the material body.
