Commentary (टीका)
The verse emphasizes a critical aspect of guiding others in spiritual practice. It advises against creating confusion or unsettling beliefs in the minds of the ignorant who are deeply absorbed in their actions. Vidvān (the wise) should not disrupt the understanding of those ajñānām (ignorant), who perform actions with expectations. Instead, the vidvān should lead by example, performing their duties without attachment, thus encouraging others to fulfill their roles earnestly.
Karma-saṅga refers to those who are attached to actions with the desire for their fruits. The vidvān understands the nature of actions and performs them as a means of duty rather than for personal gain. This method sets a model that the ignorant may follow until they are ready for higher knowledge and practices such as karma-yoga (selfless action).
The commentary underscores the importance of role models and their responsibility in society. Swami Sivananda and Swami Ramsukhdas elaborate on the need for the wise to guide the ignorant gradually, without causing a break in their current engagement with duties, ultimately facilitating an evolution towards selfless service over time. In doing so, a stable framework for personal and communal duties is maintained, fostering societal well-being and individual spiritual growth.
By advancing in subtlety, the teachings emphasize equilibrium in action, illustrating sacred texts' profoundness in navigating both spiritual and worldly obligations.
