Objaśnienie

Krishna continues describing one who sees inaction in action. Having let go of attachment to results, always content and not leaning on anything for support, such a person may be fully immersed in activity and yet does nothing in the binding sense. The word nirāśraya, without dependence, means not relying on outward results for one's sense of security. The verse shows the practical meaning of the earlier paradox. Outward work continues, but the inner doer who clings and calculates has fallen silent.
