'๐๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐จ ๐๐๐ง๐ข๐' is Arjun's next question which is in response to Krishna's assurance that one realises ๐๐ ๐๐๐ก๐๐ข-๐ ๐๐ง๐ข๐ (all aspects of ๐ ๐๐ง๐ข๐, ๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ข๐ and ๐ซ๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ข๐) when one strives for liberation by taking refuge in HIM (7.29). To this Krishna replies, "Detachment or sacrifice of cosmic energy capable of creation (๐๐๐ช๐ฉ๐-๐๐๐๐ซ๐-๐ช๐๐๐๐๐ซ๐-๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ ๐ซ๐๐จ๐๐ง๐๐) is called ๐ ๐๐ง๐ข๐" (8.3). This is a difficult explanation to comprehend and the interpretations complicate the issue rather than giving clarity. Usual interpretations of ๐ ๐๐ง๐ข๐ suggest it to be noble deeds, creation or ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฃ๐, but all of them fail to satisfy what Krishna means.
While Krishna's reply regarding '๐ ๐๐ง๐ข๐' is at the level of 'being', we interpret it at 'doing' level. That's why our understanding that 'what we do' is '๐ ๐๐ง๐ข๐' falls short, as different people keep doing different things at different times, whereas any definition should be valid for every point in time -be it past when humans didn't exist, present or even future; and for every entity.
Krishna used the word '๐ซ๐๐จ๐๐ง๐๐' which is detachment or sacrifice. ๐๐๐ง๐ข๐ is the detachment or diversion of the energy which is capable of creation. The closest example is the high voltage transmission line carrying large quantities of electricity (energy). When a part of it is diverted, that diversion is '๐๐๐ง๐ข๐' and ๐ ๐๐ง๐ข๐-๐ฅ๐๐๐ก is energising the numerous electrical appliances.
If this analogy is applied to our existence, '๐ ๐๐ง๐ข๐' is drawing from infinite cosmic energy. Firstly, who draws the energy? Like the voltage difference, the difference in the three ๐๐ช๐ฃ๐๐จ held by various entities leads to the drawing of the energy through the cable of ๐จ๐๐ง๐๐๐๐๐. While this happens automatically, out of delusion we attach ourselves to the process of '๐ซ๐๐จ๐๐ง๐๐' and presume to be ๐ ๐๐ง๐ฉ๐ which we are not. Secondly, once energy is drawn, none have any control over its consequences or ๐ ๐๐ง๐ข๐-๐ฅ๐๐๐ก (2.47).
