Explication
Krishna describes how the knower of truth regards his own activity. Even while performing all the ordinary functions of life, seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, eating, moving, sleeping, breathing, he understands that he himself does nothing. The list is long and deliberately everyday, covering the whole of a living body's work. The verse applies the teaching that actions are performed by the qualities of nature rather than by the self. The sentence continues into the next verse, which explains the reasoning behind this view.
