Here the term, Brahman denotes Prakrti. Later on Shri Krishna will say: ‘The great Brahman is My womb’ (14.3). Since Prakrti abides in the form of senses which are particular off-shoots of Prakrti, he who, as said in the passage beginning with ‘Even though he is seeing, hearing...’ (5.8), understands that all actions proceed from Brahman (Prakrti), renounces all attachment while engaging himself in all actions, reflecting, ‘I am doing nothing.’ Such a person, though existing in contact with Prakrti, is not contaminated by sin which is the result of the wrong identification of the Atman with Prakrti and is the cause of bondage. Just as a lotus leaf is not wetted by water, actions do not affect or defile a person with sin, if he is free from such identification with the body.
