Explication
Krishna now classifies action. Sattvic action is an obligatory deed done without attachment, without attraction or aversion, by one who does not crave its fruit. This restates the ideal of selfless action that the Gita has taught throughout. The action is not avoided, nor is it driven by personal preference. It is done because it is right, and the doer remains inwardly free whatever the outcome.
