Explication

The verse describes the alternative to the deluded view. One who knows the truth, tattvavit, sees how the qualities (guṇa) and their actions are distributed. He understands that it is the qualities, as senses and faculties, that move among other qualities, the objects of the senses. Seeing this, he does not cling. The phrase guṇā guṇeṣu vartante, qualities act on qualities, is a compact statement of detachment. It does not deny that action happens, but it removes the ego's claim on it, freeing the person from attachment.
