Erläuterung

Here Krishna describes yoga as a climb with two stages. For the beginner who wishes to ascend, action (karma) is the means: work done with discipline and without selfish motive purifies and steadies the mind. For the one who has already climbed, calm (śama) becomes the means of remaining there. Interpreters differ on whether the advanced yogi gives up outer work or simply acts from inner stillness, but the verse clearly presents action and quiet as phases of one path, not as rival ways of life.
