Acts of sacrifice, gift and austerity should not be abandoned, but should be performed; sacrifice, gift and also austerity are the purifiers of the wise.

Explicación

Krishna sides firmly with the view that sacrifice, giving and austerity must not be given up. They should be done, because they purify even the wise. The point is significant: these acts are not only for beginners; even those who understand deeply benefit from them. The verse rejects the idea that spiritual maturity means withdrawing from all duties. For Arjuna, it reinforces the message that the path forward lies through right action, not through abandoning it.
