न बुद्धिभेदं जनयेदज्ञानां कर्मसङ्गिनाम् । जोषयेत्सर्वकर्माणि विद्वान्युक्तः समाचरन्॥६-२५-२६॥

One should not generate intellectual disruption among the ignorant who are attached to action; the learned person, disciplined, should encourage them in all actions while performing them properly.

english translation

प्रकृतेः क्रियमाणानि गुणैः कर्माणि सर्वशः । अहंकारविमूढात्मा कर्ताहमिति मन्यते॥६-२५-२७॥

Actions are, in every way, performed by the guṇas of prakṛti; but one whose self is deluded by egoism thinks, ‘I am the doer.’

english translation

तत्त्ववित्तु महाबाहो गुणकर्मविभागयोः । गुणा गुणेषु वर्तन्त इति मत्वा न सज्जते॥६-२५-२८॥

But the knower of reality, O mighty-armed one, discerning the distinction between guṇa and action, understands that the guṇas operate among the guṇas; therefore he does not become attached.

english translation

प्रकृतेर्गुणसंमूढाः सज्जन्ते गुणकर्मसु । तानकृत्स्नविदो मन्दान्कृत्स्नविन्न विचालयेत्॥६-२५-२९॥

Those deluded by the guṇas of prakṛti become attached to actions produced by the guṇas. The one who knows the whole should not unsettle those dull persons who know only partially.

english translation

मयि सर्वाणि कर्माणि संन्यस्याध्यात्मचेतसा । निराशीर्निर्ममो भूत्वा युध्यस्व विगतज्वरः॥६-२५-३०॥

Placing all actions in Me, with a mind centered in the Self, becoming free from expectation and possessiveness, engage in your duty and fight, with inner agitation removed.
