Chapter 3 verse 29
“Those deluded by the qualities
of nature or gunas are attached to the functions of the qualities. The man of
perfect knowledge should not unsettle the foolish, who are of imperfect
knowledge”
Krishna is not looking down on
any of his own creations. He is asking people who have realized this ultimate knowledge
of detached actions not to get bogged down by the environment surrounded by
beings who have still not realized that truth. Otherwise there is no hope for this
world and it gets into this vicious cycle of birth and death without progress.
As well, Krishna is indicating that leading a life attached to the inborn
qualities is not a good existence. A good refresher of the equation in verse 27
is absolutely needed and we need to remind ourselves of this equation every
day.
