Then Arjuna asked an incidental question, and Kṛṣṇa Paramātma took it up: “Brother-in-law! The root cause of all sins and all evils, their primal seed, is kāma.” Having expounded on it, He explained in the third chapter that it is very hard for those who have ‘dehātma Buddhi’ to conquer it; that only one who has ‘brahmātma Buddhi’ can do so; that for this brahmātma Buddhi to arise, all karmas must be done for the pleasure of God; and that one must regard this universe as the svarūpa of Viṣṇu. The inquiry into karma that began in this chapter He concluded with the fifth. In this chapter He made known three important points: first, that everyone must perform karma, and that if they did not, there would be no creation at all; second, that the karmas of elders, of the experienced, are the example for ordinary people; third, that since those fit for karma are the majority in the world, jñānis too must perform karma, as exemplars for them. These three He gave Arjuna to drink with great love. Not stopping there, Kṛṣṇa Paramātma made it clear that Jñāna is the culmination of all karmas; that for ridding oneself of the impurity of the antaḥkaraṇa, and for the grace of Īśvara too, the final stage is Jñāna alone; and that Jñāna is not only the means to Ānanda but also the infinite abode. And so He began the path of Jñāna.
