English translation of verse 2.717:
On the contrary, when Brahman, which is different from that (which is to be done), which is ever-existent, and which is free from action, is known from the sentence itself, it can never be enjoined.
Notes:
While 测腻驳补, etc., which are dealt with in the ritual-section of the Veda, can be enjoined, neither Brahman nor the knowledge of Brahman spoken of in the knowledge-section of the Veda can be enjoined. Since the 痴别诲腻苍迟补 text imparts the knowledge of Brahman on its own, there is no scope for injunction in respect of Brahman-knowledge. Brahman is ever-existent and not what is to be accomplished. It is also not connected with action. Such being its nature, it can never be enjoined.
