The Yoga of Action

After showing how the deluded think 'I am the doer,' Krishna now reveals the wise perspective. The tattva-vit (knower of truth) understands that gunas act upon gunas—nature interacts with nature. Your senses are gunas, sense objects are gunas. When you're angry, that's guna (brain chemistry) reacting to guna (words, situation). When you're happy, guna (nervous system) responding to guna (pleasant circumstance). There's no personal 'I' doing anything—just prakṛti acting on prakṛti. Seeing this creates na sajjate (non-attachment)—not because you suppress feelings, but because you see there's no personal 'me' to be attacked, rejected, or judged.
