Never work out of greed because whatever we achieve is going to be taken away at the time of death. Never become silent and inactive out of fear because there is really nothing to lose.
The question concerning Karma and Sannyāsa, responsibility and renunciation, has been asked from time immemorial, and each time it has been answered. Yet this question remains.

In the next few verses, Sri Krishna says that there is no happiness for those who always have self-doubts and who have no knowledge and authenticity.
