Srimad Bhagavadgita Sadhaka Sanjivani -Swami Ramsukhdas
Chapter 2
Appendix:-Having described the discrimination between 'deha' (body) and 'debt (self) the Lord from this verse to the thirty-eighth verse describes the performance of one's duty. The reason is that the Supreme Truth which is realized by the discrimination between `deha' and `deha', the same Supreme Truth can be realized by the proper use of the body, by performing one's duty. In discrimination 'knowing' is important and in performance of one's duty 'doing' is important. Though discrimination is important for a man, as it is useful for him in practical and spiritual life and also in this world as well as the other world, yet the Lord mentions performance of one's duty for the person, who doesn't understand the discrimination between the body and the self, so that instead of becoming a scholar by possessing bookish knowledge or rot learning, he may realize the Truth.
