Thus you will be freed from all bondages caused by the results of good and bad actions, virtue and vice. Anchored to the spirit of renunciation, feeling utterly free, you will attain Me (the Supreme).

Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha
How well does Krishna, as a spiritual instructor, lift the seeker from the entire shackles of sin and virtue, good and bad results of whatever he does. He first asked Arjuna to smear all his material offers with the devotion of his heart, emphasizing that devotion alone the Supreme looks for and accepts. Then he asks the seeker to transform all actions as devotional offering by dedicating them uniformly to the Supreme.
He now says this wholesome dedication alone will liberate the seeker from all the mento-intellectual shackles arising from the feelings of sin and virtue, good and bad.
Krishna adds, as he had propounded right in the beginning: This is the essence of inner renunciation – making all dual notions extinct, imbuing a singular note of spiritual sublimity and wholesomeness – whereby one attains the Supreme.
