Action is the product of qualities inherent in nature. It is only the egotistical and deluded one who thinks "I am the sole doer". The person who understands the true nature of the Gunas and Karma, recognizes that the senses merely interact with the sense objects, and thus remains unattached. Those who do not understand the qualities of Guna and Prakrti are attached to their actions. However, the wise ones who know the truth should not disturb the minds of those who do not. Surrender your actions to me, keep your mind centered on the self, free yourself from desire and selfishness, quieten the mind, and engage in battle.
