Krishna acknowledges the extreme difficulty of the subject matter. He states that figuring out 'what is action?' (kiṃ karma) and 'what is inaction?' (kim akarmeti) is so complex that even the highly intelligent, the scholars, and the seers (kavayo 'pi) are bewildered or deluded (mohitāḥ) regarding this. Because of this widespread confusion, Krishna promises: I shall clearly explain this 'action' to you (tat te karma pravakṣyāmi), knowing which (yaj jñātvā) you will be absolutely liberated from all evil and misfortune (mokṣyase 'śubhāt).
