Thus, the sages of ancient times discovered that a wise person who understands the nature of reality does thing without personal desire. Because the wise have relinquished their attachment to having things turn out the way they selfishly want them to, they are always contented with the results and are not dependent on anyone or anything to make them happy. Though he or she appears to be acting in the world like everyone else, the wise do not do anything that binds them to any particular result. With control over their mind and ego, not considering any possession to be their own, those men and women of wisdom are free from the effects of their actions even when their bodies are acting according to the forces of nature.
