Continuing the theme of sacrifice from the previous verses, Gautamji explains the next step in Karma Yoga: the state of one who is fulfilled in the Self. After reviewing the three grades of action he clarifies how the enlightened person, fully satisfied within, has no personal need to act. He also addresses how this verse has long been misunderstood as encouraging withdrawal, when Krishna actually upholds dynamic, selfless living.
