The body has its own duty [dharma], [but the Soul] is not bounded by any life circumstance.

____James R. Ballantyne, London 1885_____ Nor [does the bondage of the soul arise] from its being conditioned [by its standing among circumstances that clog it by limiting it]; because that is the fact in regard to [not the soul, but] the body.

The sutra includes the word "deha-dharma". "Deha" means the body and "dharma" means the requirements of space and time, the two major factors for all beings. Time in Sanskrit is "kal" and space is "desh" (although this tends to be translated as "country", a concept that did not exist in Vedic literature - it means place). All that exists is limited by space and time, by their specific qualities. Action is realized in space and time by the body, which has its own tools - visible ones like the motor and sense organs (eyes, ears, nose, mouth) and invisible ones like our intelligence and memory. Space and time give the body a reason to perform various actions. Dharma is the master of the action of the body. Unfortunately, in modern times there has been great competition between religions and the term "dharma" has been misinterpreted to mean "religion". This word cannot be translated from Sanskrit, it must remain "dharma", and it means the requirements of the space and time. This is how existence is meant to work.

Once we say that action is undertaken, then this is about the body in space and time, and that means the Atma (Soul) is not involved. The influence of Christianity has emphasized the existence of the spiritual as something superlative for people to be involved in, but in ancient times the realm of the Soul or spirit was understood to be beyond the realm of the manifest - there is no such thing as a "spiritual person" or a person engaged in "spiritual work" in the Vedic understanding.

According to Ayurveda each and every substance has its own qualities and the action of these substances is limited to their qualities (called "gunas"). For example, water has its own qualities - it is liquid, cold, and flows, etc. If water loses any of these qualities, then it is no longer water. If it loses fluidity, it is not water. Likewise, space and time have their own gunas, as do all substances and beings. Nothing happens in this universe except the manifestation of all these qualities - the sun shines, the Earth turns, water flows, plants grow, medicine is used, people talk and walk around, etc. This concept of "dravya guna", guides Ayurvedic pharmacy - we know of the influence of the qualities of various substances on the body, its metabolism, etc., and this philosophy has its roots in the ancient treatises.
