Explanation
Krishna gives Arjuna a direct command that gathers the chapter's teaching. He should lay down all his actions in Krishna, with a mind turned toward the self, free from expectation and from the feeling of ownership, and fight without the fever of anxiety. This is the first time in the Gita that Krishna asks Arjuna to offer his actions to him personally, a seed of the devotional teaching of later chapters. Some read it as surrender to God, others as offering action to the inner self; both see it as freeing action from ego.
