Verily the renunciation of obligatory action is not proper; the abandonment of the same from delusion is declared to be Tamasic.

The renunciation of an obligatory action is not proper. Abandoning it out of delusion is declared to be tamasic.

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.
