Spiegazione
Krishna divides the roles of the two principles. Nature is responsible for everything to do with doing: the body as effect, the senses and mind as instruments, and the very sense of being an agent. The person is responsible for experiencing, for being the one who feels pleasure and pain. This is a careful distinction. Action belongs to the field; awareness of it belongs to the knower. Many readers see here a key to the Gita's teaching on non-attachment: if one sees that doing happens through nature, one can act without the burden of thinking I alone am the doer.
