Commentary (टीका)
In this verse, Krishna instructs Arjuna to perform his duties being steadfast in yoga. He emphasizes the importance of performing actions with a spirit of detachment and equanimity, understanding that true yoga involves a balanced mind. Swami Sivananda highlights that equilibrium, which is the essence of yoga, helps one attain knowledge of the Self by purifying the heart through selfless actions. Success (siddhi) is the realization of this knowledge, and failure (asiddhi) is its non-realization due to attachment to fruits. Swami Ramsukhdas explains that detachment towards fruits, and steadiness in success and failure, leads to liberation. Without it, even well-intended actions can't bring freedom.
In practical terms, acting from a place of even-mindedness irrespective of outcomes constitutes yoga. This sense of balance (samatva) enables a person to rise above dualities and attain spiritual growth. The sloka underscores performing actions as service to the world (lokasangraha) without personal gains, ultimately leading to inner fulfillment and alignment with Brahman, which is equanimous and faultless.
