एषा तेऽभिहिता साङ्ख्ये बुद्धिर्योगे त्विमां शृणु | बुद्ध्या युक्तो यया पार्थ कर्मबन्धं प्रहास्यसि

噢，波陀（Partha），這智慧已從「數論」（Sankhya，即自我了悟）的觀點向你闡述。但請聽從「瑜伽」（Yoga）的觀點所闡述的智慧，你若具備此智慧，便能擺脫「業」（Karma）的束縛。
O Partha, this wisdom has been imparted to you from the standpoint of Self-realization. But listen to this (wisdom) from the standpoint of Yoga, endowed with which wisdom you will get rid of the bondage of action.
克里希那（Krishna）主至今已向阿周那（Arjuna）傳授了「智」（Jnana，即知識）。（數論瑜伽是吠檀多或智瑜伽之道，它闡述了「我」（Atman）或「自我」的本質以及實現自我了悟的方法。這並非迦毗羅（Kapila）聖者的數論哲學。）他現在將教導阿周那「業瑜伽」（Karma Yoga）的技巧或奧秘，藉此阿周那（或任何人）都能打破「業」（Karma）的束縛。「業瑜伽士」應當在不期待行動果報、不存有「我為行動者」的念頭、不執著、並超越所有相對兩極（如冷熱、得失、勝敗等）的情況下履行職責。不執著、無我執的「業瑜伽士」將不受「達摩」（Dharma）與「非達摩」（Adharma），即功德與過失的影響。「業瑜伽士」將其所有工作及其果報奉獻給主（伊濕伐羅，Isvara），以此獲得主的恩典（Isvaraprasada）。
Lord Krishna taught Jnana (knowledge) to Arjuna till now. (Sankhya Yoga is the path of Vedanta or Jnana Yoga? which treats of the nature of the Atman or the Self and the methods to attain Selfrealisation. It is not the Sankhya philosophy of sage Kapila.) He is now giving to teach Arjuna the technie or secret of Karma Yoga endowed with which he (or anybody else) can break through the bonds of Karma. The Karma Yogi should perform work without expectation of fruits of his actions? without the idea of agency (or the notin I do this)? without attachment? after annihilating or going beyond all the pairs of opposites such as heat and cold? gain and loss? victoyr and defeat? etc. Dharma and Adharma? or merit and demerit will not touch that Karma Yogi who works without attachment and egoism. The Karma Yogi consecrates all his works and their fruits as offerings unto the Lord (Isvararpanam) and thus obtains the grace of the Lord (Isvaraprasada).
