The Yoga of Knowledge

Krishna marks a crucial shift here. He's finished explaining Sankhya—the analytical knowledge of the eternal soul versus the temporary body. Now he introduces Karma Yoga, the practical path of action. The key insight: understanding truth isn't enough. You must act from that understanding. He promises that buddhi-yukta (wisdom-empowered action) breaks karma-bandha—the bondage action creates when done with attachment. This is revolutionary: the same actions that bind you can free you, depending on your understanding while acting.
