7. But one who, subduing the senses by the mind, O Arjuna, begins to practice Karma Yoga through the organs of action and who is free from attachment — excels.

Commentary

Consequently, one who, aspiring for Self-realisation, acts in accordance with Scriptural teachings — doing such actions as were practiced earlier; being naturally inclined to work, but doing them as Karma Yoga — renouncing all attachment to rewards, by reason of there being no chance of error, is superior to one practicing meditation.
