The entire content of this mail is from Swami Chidbhavananda's translation of The Bhagavad Gita, published by Ramakrishna Mission.
As the unelightened act from attachment to action, O Bharata, so should the enlightened act without attachment, desirous of the guidance of the multitude.
Difference between men is in the sort of desire harboured at heart. The enlightened one is desireless. Desire for fruits of actions goads the multitude to activity. The enlightened man has no personal motive. Out of compassion for the ignorant he ceaselessly works. Following his example the others do their work. Has the enlightened man anything to guard himself against? The answer comes in the next sloka.
