Shloka 14
ईशन्नपि महायोगी सर्वस्य जगतो हरि: । कर्माण्यारभते कर्तु कीनाश इव वर्धन:,महायोगी श्रीहरि सम्पूर्ण जगत्के स्वामी एवं ईश्वर होते हुए भी खेतीको बढ़ानेवाले किसानकी भाँति सदा नये-नये कर्मोका आरम्भ करते रहते हैं
īśann api mahāyogī sarvasya jagato hariḥ | karmāṇy ārabhate kartuṃ kīnāśa iva vardhanaḥ ||
Sañjaya said: Though He is the Lord—Hari, the great yogin and sovereign of the entire world—He still continually sets new actions in motion, like a farmer who labors to make his fields prosper.

Educational Q&A
Even the supreme Lord, though fully sovereign and self-sufficient, undertakes action for the increase and well-being of the world. The ethical implication is that responsible action—done for order, growth, and welfare—is a mark of true greatness, not a sign of lack.
Sañjaya is describing Hari (understood in the Udyoga context as Kṛṣṇa/Viṣṇu) as a great yogin who nevertheless initiates works continually, using the vivid comparison of a farmer who keeps working to make the harvest grow.
