यस्य सर्वे समारम्भाः कामसङ्कल्पवर्जिताः।
ज्ञानाग्निदग्धकर्माणं तमाहुः पण्डितं बुधाः।।4.19।।
।।4.19।। जिसके समस्त कार्य कामना और संकल्प से रहित हैं ऐसे उस ज्ञानरूप अग्नि के द्वारा भस्म हुये कर्मों वाले पुरुष को ज्ञानीजन पण्डित कहते हैं।।
In this verse and the next five verses Lord Krishna describes the nature of karma or prescribed Vedic activities. The knowledge that one is completely dependent upon the Supreme Lord and that the Supreme Lord alone is the actual performer of all actions guarantees that all reactions to actions are neutralised by the fire of wisdom.
