This is a brief sub-gloss. For a fuller reading of this verse, see Madhusūdana, Śaṅkara, or Rāmānuja above.

He who, having restrained, drawn in, the organs of action, the hands and the rest, sits remembering, dwelling on, the objects of the senses with his mind: that one of deluded self, of deluded inner instrument, is called a false practiser, one of false and sinful conduct.

One whose sin is undestroyed, whose outer and inner organs are unconquered, who has set out for knowledge of the self but, bent toward objects, has turned his mind away from the self, and who sits remembering the very objects, resolving one thing and behaving in another way, is called a man of false conduct: one who, set out for knowledge of the self, has turned out its opposite, ruined.

Even so, a giving-up to the measure of one's power is to be done, Krishna says with 'the organs of action'. To show that the mind alone is what prompts, He gives both the positive and the negative case, 'remembering with the mind' and 'restraining with the mind'. The discipline of action is the one suited to one's own class and stage of life; there is no rule that it is the householder's action alone, since renunciation and the rest are also enjoined, and since the statement is a general one.
