But whosoever, controlling the senses by the mind, O Arjuna, engages himself in Karma Yoga with the organs of action, without attachment, he excels.

But one who controls the senses with the mind, Arjuna, and without attachment engages the organs of action in the yoga of action, excels.

Krishna now describes the better way. Instead of suppressing outward action while inwardly craving, one should govern the senses through the mind and then act through the organs of action without attachment. This is karmayoga, the yoga of action. The contrast with the previous verse is exact: there, the body was still while the mind wandered; here, the mind is mastered while the body acts. Krishna calls such a person viśiṣyate, one who stands out. The ideal is not withdrawal but disciplined engagement.
