Given the absolute reality that action requires five factors (tatraivaṁ sati), Krishna gives a blunt diagnosis. Anyone who looks at their life and considers their individual self to be the sole and independent doer (kartāram ātmānaṁ kevalaṁ) is functioning with an unpurified, untrained intelligence (akṛta-buddhitvān). Krishna labels such a person as 'durmatiḥ' (foolish or stupid), concluding that they are completely blind to reality (na sa paśyati).
