Explication
Krishna draws his conclusion for Arjuna. Whatever the state of the fully realised, Arjuna should keep doing the work that is his to do, kāryaṃ karma, without attachment. Acting in this way, a person reaches the supreme. The verse presents detached action not merely as a duty but as a path to the highest goal. It is a clear statement of karmayoga. The word therefore links it back to all that came before: the impossibility of inaction, the cycle of sacrifice, and the freedom of one who no longer acts from need.
