Traduction

Those deluded by the alities of Nature are attached to the functions of the alities. The man of perfect knowledge should not unsettle the foolish one who is of imperfect knowledge.

Explication

Krishna returns to the theme of teaching. Those confused by the qualities (guṇa) of nature cling to their activities. The one who sees the whole, kṛtsnavit, should not unsettle those who see only part. The word manda, slow, is not an insult but a description of those whose understanding is still developing. The verse echoes the earlier counsel not to disturb the minds of the attached. Wisdom carries a responsibility of patience: truth must be shared in a way that helps rather than confuses.
