Shloka 14
ध्यानयोगः — Dhyāna-Yoga
Discipline of Meditation and Mental Restraint
ब्राह्मण, क्षत्रिय, वैश्य और शूद्र--इन चार वर्णोंका समूह गुण और कर्मोंके विभागपूर्वक मेरे द्वारा रचा गया है।* इस प्रकार उस सृष्टि-रचनादि कर्मका कर्ता होनेपर भी मुझ अविनाशी परमेश्वरको तू वास्तवमें अकर्ता ही जानः ।।
cāturvarṇyaṁ mayā sṛṣṭaṁ guṇa-karma-vibhāgaśaḥ | tasya kartāram api māṁ viddhy akartāram avyayam || na māṁ karmāṇi limpanti na me karma-phale spṛhā | iti māṁ yo 'bhijānāti karmabhir na sa badhyate ||
四种社会阶序——婆罗门、刹帝利、吠舍与首陀罗——由我所建立，依诸德性（guṇa）的分配与所行之业（karma）的差别而区分。然虽我为此秩序之本源，你当知我实为不作者、且不坏之主。诸业不能染我，我亦不贪求业果。能如实了知我者，亦不为诸业所缚。

Educational Q&A
The Lord explains that social roles are differentiated by qualities (guṇa) and work (karma), yet the Supreme remains untouched by action and desire for results. Knowing this truth supports Karma-yoga: performing one’s duty without possessive attachment, thereby avoiding bondage.
In the midst of the Kurukṣetra teaching, Krishna addresses Arjuna’s moral confusion about action and responsibility. He clarifies how duty can be performed without spiritual entanglement by understanding the Lord’s transcendence and by relinquishing craving for outcomes.
