Renunciation and the Discipline of Action

មនុស្សលោកនេះត្រូវបានចងក្រងដោយកម្ម តែសម្រាប់កម្មដែលធ្វើក្រៅពីការធ្វើជាយជ្ញា (yajña) ប៉ុណ្ណោះ។ ដូច្នេះ អើយ កូនកុន្ទី (អរជុន)! ចូរធ្វើកិច្ចការដែលត្រូវធ្វើ ដើម្បីជាយជ្ញានោះ ដោយគ្មានការជាប់ចិត្ត ហើយអនុវត្តឲ្យល្អប្រសើរ។

Educational Q&A
Action becomes non-binding when it is done as yajña—an offering aligned with sacred order and duty—without personal grasping for results. Actions driven by self-centered aims create karmic bondage; therefore one should work with detachment and an offering-attitude.
In the battlefield dialogue, Krishna is instructing Arjuna on how to act without being trapped by the consequences of action. He reframes duty as sacrificial service: Arjuna should perform his prescribed responsibilities without attachment, thereby avoiding karmic entanglement.
