Shree Krishna explains in this verse that they become bewildered by the guṇas of the material energy and think themselves to be the doers. Infatuated by the three modes of material nature, they work for the express purpose of being able to enjoy sensual and mental delights. They are unable to perform actions as a matter of duty, without desiring rewards. However, the kṛitsna-vit (persons with knowledge) should not disturb the minds of the akṛitsna-vit (persons without knowledge). This means that the wise spiritual seekers should not force their thoughts onto ignorant persons by saying, “You are the soul, not the body, and hence karm is meaningless; give it up.” Rather, the advanced spiritual seekers should instruct the ignorant to perform their respective karm, and slowly help them rise above attachment. In this way, after presenting the distinctions between those who are spiritually wise and those who are ignorant, Shree Krishna gives the sober caution not to unsettle the minds of the ignorant. ----------------------------------------------------- प्रकृतेर्गुणसम्मूढा: सज्जन्ते गुणकर्मसु | तानकृत्स्नविदो मन्दान्कृत्स्नविन्न विचालयेत् || 29|| prakriter guna-sammudhah sajjante guna-karmasu tan akritsna-vido mandan kritsna-vin na vichalayet Those who are deluded by the operation of the guṇas become attached to the results of their actions. But the wise who understand these truths should not unsettle such ignorant people who know very little. ----------------------------------------------------- 🙏 Holy Bhagavad Gita - Song of God videos in Gita Gyan Yagna series are published every Saturday at 9 am EST/6:30 pm IST.
