=== Commentary (टीका) ===
The sloka elucidates the philosophy wherein the enlightened practitioner, or ''tattva-vit'', realizes their non-doership despite engaging in a myriad of sensory and physical activities. As expounded in the commentaries, this perspective aligns with the ''sāṅkhya'' philosophy which differentiates between the self and the activities of the body-mind complex. The ''tattva-vit'' recognizes that all actions, such as seeing, hearing, and breathing, are functions of prakṛti (nature) driven by ''guṇas'' (qualities), yet maintains a constant awareness that the true self is untouched and beyond these activities. Thus, the idea is not to deny the actions themselves, but to dissociate one's identity from the doership of these actions, reflecting a state of internal renunciation, or ''akartṛtva''. This understanding is foundational for true ''karma sanyāsa'', where one remains unaffected by actions while faithfully engaging in them. Through non-attachment and realization of the self's independence from the physical and mental functions, the ''sāṅkhya-yogi'' attains peace and liberation (mukti).
