If the wise man also should perform duties with the same attachment as the ignorant, the action of both could not then differ; this supposition is amended in the above verse.
Just as the ignorant, full of attachments perform duties, O Bharata, so also the man of wisdom free of attachments should perform, intent upon guiding the world.
Attachment or its absence makes the difference between the work of an ignorant and that of a wise.
