Uitleg

Krishna now describes the better way. Instead of suppressing outward action while inwardly craving, one should govern the senses through the mind and then act through the organs of action without attachment. This is karmayoga, the yoga of action. The contrast with the previous verse is exact: there, the body was still while the mind wandered; here, the mind is mastered while the body acts. Krishna calls such a person viśiṣyate, one who stands out. The ideal is not withdrawal but disciplined engagement.
