Acharya Prashant explains that a liberated person remains untouched by the world, much like the ocean remains unchanged despite the many rivers flowing into it. Being unaffected by the world does not mean inactivity or inertia; rather, it means acting without being bound by desires, ego, or attachments. He clarifies that while the body exists in the world, the mind and actions of a liberated soul are guided by the Self (Atma) rather than the ego. People often mistake the call to work without bondage as a call to stop working altogether, but Shri Krishna emphasizes living and acting with freedom from the sense of 'I' and 'mine'.
