Renunciation and the Discipline of Action
भीष्मपर्वणि तु षड्विंशो5ध्याय:
na buddhibhedaṁ janayed ajñānāṁ karmasaṅginām | joṣayet sarvakarmāṇi vidvān yuktaḥ samācaran ||
“智者既安住于瑜伽与内在调御之中，便不应扰乱那些执著于业行的无知者之理解，使其生疑退信。相反，他当以正当统摄之心亲自圆满履行一切经教所规定的本分之业，并劝导他们也同样去行。”

Educational Q&A
A spiritually disciplined person should not undermine the faith or clarity of those still attached to action; instead, by personally performing prescribed duties in a balanced way, he should inspire others to do their duties, gradually leading them toward steadiness and right understanding.
In the dialogue on the battlefield, Arjuna speaks within the ethical discussion of action and knowledge: the verse frames how the wise should relate to ordinary people—by guiding through example and encouragement rather than provoking skepticism toward dharmic work.
