Therefore,
one who has renounced the fruits of his action, whose doubts are destroyed
by transcendental knowledge, and who is situated firmly in the self, is
not bound by works, O conqueror of riches.
PURPORT
One who follows
the instruction of the Gita, as it is imparted by the Lord, the
Personality of Godhead Himself, becomes free from all doubts by the grace
of transcendental knowledge. He, as a part and parcel of the Lord, in full
Krsna consciousness, is already established in self-knowledge. As such,
he is undoubtedly above bondage to action.
