Sanskrit
ज्ञानं कर्म च कर्ता च त्रिधैव गुणभेदतः।प्रोच्यते गुणसंख्याने यथावच्छृणु तान्यपि।।18.19।।

Word by Word
Krishna now unveils the final secret: knowledge, action, and the doer themselves are all threefold expressions of the gunas—not ultimately real, but appearing real through the lens of nature's three modes. This is the dissolution of all false responsibility and the doorway to freedom.
When you truly see that the ego claims authorship of what nature alone performs, the burden of doership falls away, and you rest in your timeless witness-self. In daily life, this teaching liberates you from guilt and anxiety by revealing that your essential nature is untouched by the fruits of action.
