To one who is devoid of attchment, who is liberated, whose mind is established in knowledge, who works for the sake of sacrifice (for the sake of God), the whole action is dissolved.

For one whose attachment is gone, who is free, whose mind is established in knowledge, and who acts for the sake of sacrifice, all action melts away.

Krishna gathers the traits into a single picture. For one who is free from attachment, liberated, with a mind settled in knowledge (jñāna), and who acts only as sacrifice (yajña), action dissolves entirely, pravilīyate. The image is of something melting away without trace. This verse links the earlier teaching of the third chapter on action as sacrifice with the present chapter's emphasis on knowledge. It also leads into a passage that will widen the meaning of sacrifice to include many kinds of spiritual practice.
