The central teaching of the Gita is the attainment of the final beatitude of life—perfection or eternal freedom. This may be achieved by doing one’s prescribed duties of life. Lord Krishna says to Arjuna:<ref name=":2" /> <blockquote>तस्मादसक्तः सततं कार्यं कर्म समाचर । असक्तो ह्याचरन्कर्म परमाप्नोति पूरुषः ॥३- १९॥<ref>Bhagavad Gita, [https://sa.wikisource.org/wiki/%E0%A4%AD%E0%A4%97%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%A6%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%97%E0%A5%80%E0%A4%A4%E0%A4%BE/%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%B0%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%AE%E0%A4%AF%E0%A5%8B%E0%A4%97%E0%A4%83 Chapter 3.]</ref></blockquote><blockquote>tasmādasaktaḥ satataṁ kāryaṁ karma samācara । asakto hyācarankarma paramāpnoti pūruṣaḥ ॥3- 19॥</blockquote>Meaning: Therefore, without attachment, constantly perform action which is duty, for, by performing action without attachment, man verily reaches the Supreme.<ref name=":2" />

One can become a liberated sage by annihilating the ego and the currents of likes and dislikes; by annihilating desires and cravings and destroying their residual potencies. Thus, one can rest in one's true essential nature as Existence-Knowledge-Bliss Absolute and still be active in the affairs of the world. Because, now you will not be bound by actions since the idea of doership has been destroyed by the attainment of knowledge of the Self. This is the keynote of the Gita.<ref name=":2" />
