Explanation

Krishna offers a promise. Those who keep to this teaching steadily, with śraddhā, faith or trust, and without anasūyā, carping or resentment, are freed from the bonds of action (karma). The word too is significant: freedom is not reserved for renunciants or the perfectly wise, but is open to anyone who lives by this teaching with sincere trust. The verse shows that the Gita values the attitude of the learner as much as intellectual mastery. Faith and goodwill toward the teaching are themselves part of the path.
