Uitleg

Krishna explains why. He alone is the enjoyer and lord of all sacrifices. But those who do not know him in truth fall back, cyavanti, into the cycle. Their worship reaches him, but because they do not recognize him, they do not attain the lasting goal. The verse locates the difference not in the act of worship but in understanding. It is knowledge of the true recipient of every offering that turns ritual into a path of release.
