Word by Word

yoga-yuktaḥ united in consciousness with God
viśhuddha-ātmā one with purified intellect
vijita-ātmā one who has conquered the mind
jita-indriyaḥ having conquered the senses
sarva-bhūta-ātma-bhūta-ātmā one who sees the Soul of all souls in every living being
kurvan performing
api although
na never
lipyate entangled
Simplified Perspective

When the mind dissolves into pure consciousness and the senses bow to the sovereign Self, action becomes a sacred dance with the Divine—untouched by consequences, unscarred by ego. The enlightened soul sees not separate beings but the eternal Atman wearing infinite masks, and this vision transforms every deed into worship.

In your own life, this means: perform your duties with full commitment yet hold them lightly, knowing you are not the doer but an instrument of something far greater than your small self.
