Commentary (टीका)
The sloka highlights the importance of understanding the influence of guṇas (qualities) of nature on individuals who lack complete knowledge. They become attached to actions driven by these qualities, unable to discern the deeper truths due to their limited understanding. Swami Sivananda explains that wise individuals should not disturb those who are still learning and may become disillusioned if their beliefs are challenged aggressively. Instead, they should gradually guide the ignorant through karma yoga, emphasizing the purification of the heart and the ultimate goal of self-realization.
Swami Ramsukhdas expands on this idea by discussing the nature of the three guṇas—sattva, rajas, and tamas—and how they bind individuals to desires and actions. Ignorant individuals, termed as 'akṛtsnavid,' may engage in righteous actions but often with selfish motives. They are unaware of the true essence of karma and the workings of the guṇas. Hence, a knowledgeable person, described as 'kṛtsnavit,' may help them understand gradually without unsettling their faith or resolve in rightful actions. The sloka serves as a guideline for spiritual mentors on how to approach teaching without causing undue disruption to the learner's spiritual journey.
