He who, restraining the organs of action, sits thinking of the sense-objects in mind, he of deluded understanding is called a hypocrite.

One who restrains the organs of action but sits dwelling in his mind on the objects of the senses is deluded and is called a hypocrite.

Krishna warns against a false renunciation. Someone may hold back the hands, feet and other organs of action, sitting still in apparent discipline, while the mind keeps dwelling on pleasures and objects. Such a person is called mithyācāra, one whose conduct is false. The outward show of restraint means little if the inner desire continues. This sharpens the previous point: the issue is not physical activity but the state of the mind. It also cautions Arjuna that walking away from the battle would not by itself free him.
