Educational Q&A

The verse bridges two complementary approaches: Sāṅkhya’s discriminative insight and Yoga’s disciplined action. With buddhi (clear discernment) guiding one’s conduct, a person performs duty without attachment to outcomes, thereby escaping the binding effects (karma-bandha) that ordinarily arise from action.

Sanjaya reports the instruction being given to Arjuna: after presenting the knowledge-oriented framework (Sāṅkhya), the teaching now turns to the practical path of Karma-yoga. The focus shifts from understanding to application—how Arjuna can act in his role without becoming morally and spiritually entangled by the results.
