प्रकृत्यैव च कर्माणि क्रियमाणानि सर्वशः ।यः पश्यति तथाऽऽत्मानमकर्तारं स पश्यति ॥
prakṛtyaiva ca karmāṇi kriyamāṇāni sarvaśaḥ |yaḥ paśyati tathā''tmānamakartāraṃ sa paśyati ||
One who sees that all actions are being performed in every way by nature (prakriti) alone, and that the self is not the doer — that person truly sees.
Explanation
Krishna continues describing true vision. Having spoken of seeing the Lord equally present everywhere, he now says that all action belongs to nature (prakṛti), the body-mind field of the three gunas, while the self (ātman) is not the doer (akartṛ). Advaita readings take this as the self being wholly actionless; theistic traditions stress that the self is not the independent doer, since nature and the Lord work through it.
