Explication

If even practice is beyond him, Arjuna should make work done for Krishna's sake his highest aim. Simply by doing actions for Krishna, he will attain perfection. This option brings devotion into ordinary activity. One need not sit in meditation; one can serve, act and work with the intention of offering it to God. The verse links the path of devotion with the path of action taught in earlier chapters, showing that they are not separate but meet in dedicated work.
