त्यक्त्वा कर्मफलासङ्गं नित्यतृप्तो निराश्रयः | कर्मण्यभिप्रवृत्तोऽपि नैव किञ्चित्करोति सः

放弃了对行动结果的执着，永远满足，无所依附的人，即使他从事行动，他实际上什么也没做。
Having given up attachment to the results of action, he who is ever-contented, dependent on nothing, he really does not do anything even though engaged in action.
这里重复了“行动中的无行动”这一思想，以给求道者留下深刻印象。那些为世界福祉而工作的人，以及那些为了给大众树立榜样而无我执、无执着于行动果报的人，尽管他们始终活跃，但实际上什么也没做，因为他们拥有超越一切活动的自性知识，并已证悟了与自性的同一性。由于绝对的梵（Brahman）是自足的，如果一个人证悟了自性，所有的欲望都会得到满足。他永远满足，不依赖任何事物，就像一个得到国王恩宠的人，不依赖大臣或政府官员做任何事一样。
The same idea of inaction in action is repeated here to produce a deep impression on the minds of the aspirants. He who works for the wellbeing of the world and he who performs actions without egoism and attachment for the fruits? to set an example to the masses? really does nothing at all though he is ever engaged in activity? as he possesses the knowledge of the Self which is beyond all activity and as he has realised his identity with It.As Brahman the Absolute is selfcontained? all the desires are gratified if one realises the Self. He is ever satisfied and does not depend on anything? just as a man who has the favour of the king does not depend on the minister or the government official for anything. (Cf.IV.41)
