Commentary (टीका)
In this sloka, Lord Krishna refers to historical figures like Janaka who attained saṁsiddhi (spiritual perfection) not by renouncing action, but by engaging in it selflessly. The sloka emphasizes karmayoga (the path of action), suggesting that one should perform actions not only for personal spiritual growth but also for lokasaṁgraha (welfare and guidance of the world). It highlights how enlightened beings like King Janaka acted as role models, balancing spiritual growth with societal duties.
In the Hindi commentary, Swami Ramsukhdas underscores on actions performed without attachment as a vehicle for liberation, noting that historically, many have reached paramasiddhi through such dispassionate actions. There's a critique of viewing spiritual realization akin to acquiring mundane desires by physical labor, emphasizing instead on internal detachment and the role of sincere aspiration. It also touches upon the interconnectedness of life and duties, suggesting mutual support through individual actions.
The underlying theme is the encouragement to lead by example, demonstrating how selfless acts can inspire collective harmony and progress in society, thereby accomplishing one's spiritual journey in conjunction with worldly responsibilities. ```
