Sri Krishna elaborates this point further: —

tyaktvā karma phalā-saṅgaṃ nitya tṛpto nirāśrayaḥ |
karmaṇy-abhi-pravṛtto’pi naiva kiñcit karoti saḥ || 20 ||

20. Having renounced attachment to the fruits of one’s actions, ever contented with the eternal (Self),
and dependent on none, one does not verily act, even though engaged in activity.

Commentary

‘dependent on none’ — devoid of dependence on the transient Prakṛti (body and external environment) — such a person, even though fully engaged in activity, does not, in essence act at all. He is engaged in wisdom-practice under the form of activity.
