After enunciating on Karma Yoga in Chapter 3, Krishna furthers the idea of acting with the right attitude in this chapter. Sri Krishna does not denounce action. Action is the nature of all humans. Barring some, who are able to reach the contemplative state, the rest of us are bound to act. Acting with selfless motives elevates us; acting with selfish motives further binds us. Therefore to not renounce action but change our attitude towards how we act, is the path to self improvement.
