Explication

The chapter closes with a portrait of the one who reaches Krishna. Such a person acts for him, holds him as the supreme goal, is devoted to him, is free of attachment, and bears no enmity toward any being. Many readers consider this verse a summary of the Gita's teaching, joining action, devotion and detachment in a single life. The last quality is especially striking after a chapter filled with images of war: Arjuna must fight, yet without hatred. The vision of time devouring the warriors ends in a call to act without enmity, as an offering.
