tattva-vit-tu mahā-bāho guṇa-karma-vibhāgayoḥ |
guṇā guṇeṣu vartanta iti matvā na sajjate || 3.28 ||

The correct position is to enrich oneself with the right knowledge and leave matters to Prak¤ti and remain illumined and unaffected. In fact, this is what the seeker should aspire for. Krishna thus presents the tattva-vit, the Knower of Truth, before the seeker:

Karmas are the resultant of gunas which are the constituents of Prakrti. Objects of the world, which are the effects of the same gunas, and senses, which too are guna-creations, interact amongst themselves out of their natural propensities and susceptibilities. What then is there for any one to get unduly perturbed? This should be the contemplation of the seeker every time.

So asakti (detachment) is provided within the very scheme of Nature. Involvement is there only outwardly, in the level of the senses, mind and intelligence. In the deeper centre within, no involvement can ever be. Realize this truth and by dint of such realization, become asakta. Such asaktata will itself be sufficient to take one to the supreme perfection, assures Krishna

With this new spiritual insight, those very karmas which normally cause sakti (attachment) will begin to instil detachment, the opposite virtue.
