Content with what comes to him without effort, free from the pairs of opposites and envy, even-minded in success and failure, though acting, he is not bound.

Content with whatever comes unasked, beyond the pairs of opposites, free from envy, even in success and failure, he is not bound even when he acts.

Krishna adds further traits. Such a person is content with yadṛcchālābha, whatever comes by chance, without striving for more. He has gone beyond the dvandvas, the pairs of opposites such as pleasure and pain, heat and cold, praise and blame. He feels no envy, and stays the same in success and failure. With all this, even when he acts, he is not bound. The verse echoes the second chapter's definition of yoga as evenness of mind, showing that freedom in action rests on inner balance.
