Uitleg
Krishna now classifies relinquishment by the qualities. To give up an action that is one's obligatory duty (niyata karma) is not right. When it is abandoned out of delusion, that relinquishment is tamasic. This directly addresses Arjuna's original wish to lay down his weapons. Abandoning a duty out of confusion may look like renunciation, but Krishna calls it a form of darkness, since it springs from misunderstanding rather than wisdom.
