The man of renunciation, pervaded by purity, intelligent, and with his doubts cut asunder, does not hate a disagreeable work nor is he attached to an agreeable one.

The relinquisher filled with sattva, wise and with doubts cut away, neither dislikes unpleasant work nor clings to pleasant work.

Krishna portrays the true relinquisher. Filled with sattva (clarity), intelligent and free of doubt, such a person neither resents unpleasant work nor clings to agreeable work. Likes and dislikes no longer decide what is done. This is a portrait of inner freedom within active life. For Arjuna, who began by recoiling from the unpleasant task of battle, the verse shows a way to face hard duties without aversion.
