Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:

If you have no capacity even for study, then better to continue to be what you are. Do not restrain the senses, do not interfere with the enjoyment of sense-objects, and do not leave off the pride of your own caste. Follow your family rites and customs, and observe the enjoined traditions, and then you have the liberty of following freely your own course. Only do not say, “I am doing it”, whatever may be the action you perform through the agency of your body, tongue and mind. The Supreme Soul, who conducts the entire universe (affairs) alone, knows what action is right and what is not. Never even think in your mind about any particular action being defective (incomplete) or complete. You carry on your living (existence) in a way that would make you attain unto its proper purpose. The water flow quietly follows the gardener, wherever he conducts it; you should be pliant like that water flow (dropping all egoistic sense of your capacity for action). Do not encumber your heart with loads such as activism and renunciation, but fix up your heart unceasingly unto me. Does the chariot, Oh great hero, ever worry itself, if the road is straight or crooked? And whatever (action) is turned out, do dedicate all quietly unto me. Make no attempt to weigh it in a balance. With such a conviction of mind you will, Oh Arjuna, come unto Me, the Home of the Union of the Supreme and the individual souls, when you discard your body.
