In the previous chapters, in order to remove Moha or attachment, which was the sole cause of Arjuna’s delusion, Krishna taught him the imperishable nature of the Atman, the realisation of which would grant him the freedom of the Eternal. A doubt therefore arises in Arjuna’s mind as to the necessity of engaging in action even after one has attained this state. Krishna, in this chapter, clears this doubt by telling him that although one has realised oneness with the Eternal, one has to perform action through the force of Prakrti or Nature. He emphasises that perfection is attained not by ceasing to engage in action but by doing all actions as a divine offering, filled with a spirit of non-attachment and sacrifice.<ref name=":0">Swami Sivananda (2000), [https://holybooks-lichtenbergpress.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/BHAGAVAD-GITA-By-SRI-SWAMI-SIVANANDA.pdf Bhagavad Gita], Uttar Pradesh: The Divine Life Society, The Yoga of Action.</ref>
