Translator:
He who is devoted to the path of action, whose mind is pure, who has conquered the self, who has subdued his senses, and who realizes his Self as the Self in all beings, though acting, is not tainted.

A Reading - Rantideb

Why: one disciplined in yoga, with a purified self, controlled mind and senses, identified with all beings, remains untainted even while acting, describing full engagement with the world alongside inner purity as entirely compatible.

In life: you don't have to withdraw from people or responsibility to protect your inner clarity, the two can coexist with the right inner discipline.

Teaching: work on the inner discipline that lets you stay fully engaged with life without being pulled off balance by it, rather than assuming withdrawal is the only protection.

Deep Classical Commentary (Bhashya)

Author:
5.7 योगयुक्तः devoted to the path of action? विशुद्धात्मा a man of purified mind? विजितात्मा one who has conered the self? जितेन्द्रियः one who has subdued his senses? सर्वभूतात्मभूतात्मा one who realises his Self as the Self in all beings? कुर्वन् acting? अपि even? न not? लिप्यते is tainted.Commentary He who is harmonised by Yoga? i.e.? he who has purified his mind by devotion to the performance of action? who has conered the body and who has subjugated the senses? whose Self is the Self of all beings? he will not be bound by actions although he performs actions for the wellbeing or protection of the masses in orer to set an example to them. (Cf.XVIII.17)
