Explicação

Krishna compares the wise and the unwise. Outwardly both act, and both may act with the same energy. The difference lies within. The unwise act because they are attached to their work and its results. The wise act without attachment, moved by the wish to sustain the world, lokasaṅgraha. The verse makes clear that wisdom does not show itself in less activity but in a different motive. Arjuna, if he understands, will not fight less vigorously than an ordinary warrior, but he will fight with a free mind.
