कायेन मनसा बुद्धया केवलैरिन्द्रियैरपि । योगिन: कर्म कुर्वन्ति सड़ूं त्यक्त्वा55त्मशुद्धये,कर्मयोगी ममत्वबुद्धिरहित केवल इन्द्रिय, मन, बुद्धि और शरीरद्वारा भी आसक्तिको त्यागकर अन्तःकरणकी शुद्धिके लिये कर्म करते हैं*
kāyena manasā buddhyā kevalair indriyair api | yoginaḥ karma kurvanti saṅgaṃ tyaktvātmaśuddhaye ||
Sinabi ni Arjuna: “Sa pamamagitan ng katawan, ng isip, ng talino, at maging ng mga pandama lamang, ang mga disiplinadong nagsasanay ay kumikilos—tinalikdan ang pagkapit—upang luminis ang kalooban.”

Educational Q&A
Actions can be performed through body, mind, intellect, and senses without possessiveness or craving for results; such detached action becomes a discipline that purifies the inner life (ātmaśuddhi) rather than strengthening ego and attachment.
In the midst of the Kurukṣetra setting, Arjuna is articulating a principle of Karma Yoga: even while engaged in necessary action, a yogin relinquishes attachment and performs work as a means of inner purification, aligning duty with spiritual discipline.
