This is verse 3.28 of the Jnaneshwari (Bhavartha-Dipika), the English translation of 13th-century Marathi commentary on the Bhagavad-Gita.—The Dnyaneshwari (Jnaneshwari) brings to light the deeper meaning of the Gita which represents the essence of the Vedic Religion. This is verse 28 of the chapter called Karma-yoga.

Verse 3.28:But he, O Long-armed, who is aware of the truth of the differentiations according to constituent-aspects (leading to differentiations of) activities—realising that (actions proceed when) constituent aspects (senses) operate upon constituentaspects (sense-objects)—he is not attached (to actions). (181)

Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:

The primal nature’s body-sense from which all actions emanate, drops away from those souls that have realised the Being of the Supreme Self. They drop all sense of false pride and go beyond the shackles of Nature and its Process and live even in their body-form as spectators fully transcending the mutual ties between the Gunas and actions. Even though, they exist in human forms, still they do not get themselves fettered by actions, just as the Sun, in no way gets himself affected by any affairs of the world, which are carried on in the light he sheds.
