Kṛṣṇa explains the ‘Witness Consciousness’ of a person in divine realization. A ‘tattva-vit’, or one who knows the truth, always thinks, “I am actually doing nothing at all.” Even while they are engaged in seeing, hearing, touching, eating, or moving, they remain aware of their separation from the material process. This is a radical psychological shift. The wise person realizes that the soul is not the doer of physical actions. The body is an advanced biological machine that reacts to stimuli and performs its functions. The soul is the passenger who observes these actions without being the cause of them. Arjuna is terrified of the ‘karma’ of killing. Kṛṣṇa is telling him that the way to stay free is to adopt this perspective. If Arjuna acts as an observer of his own warrior nature, performing his duty because it is required by the moment, he remains a non-doer. He is in the chariot, but he is not the wheels. This detachment is the secret to moral freedom.
