Explicación
This verse is one of the Gita's famous paradoxes. The wise person sees inaction in action and action in inaction. One reading: such a person acts without attachment, so that inwardly nothing binds him, while one who refrains from action outwardly but craves inwardly is in truth acting. Another reading: the self is never the doer even when the body acts. Either way, the verse turns the ordinary view upside down. What matters is not the outward activity but the inner relation to it.
