न बुद्धिभेदं जनयेदज्ञानां कर्मसङ्गिनाम् |
जोषयेत्सर्वकर्माणि विद्वान्युक्त: समाचरन् || 26||
The wise should not create confusion or discord in the minds or intelligence of the ignorant people who are attached to fruitive action. Being unattached, the wise should perform all the prescribed actions, inspiring and keeping those ignorant fully engaged in actions.
Bhagwan Shri Krishna explains to Arjuna that even though wise are capable of performing their prescribed duties, they should not advise the ignorant who perform their action with attachment to the fruits of the result.
By giving unnecessary advice to the ignorant, they may get confused and might even abandon the action. People who are attached to the fruits of the action might find it difficult to abandon the attachment and will get confused. So the wise one should engage in their prescribed duties and perform that action without any attachment to the result.
People are generally inspired to follow their leader and the wise are the ones that those ignorant souls look upon. So, if the wise do not perform their rightful prescribed duties, how will the ignorant gain inspiration to perform theirs.
So, in order to inspire the ignorant, the wise should not never abandon the duties. They should perform their duties without any attachment to inspire others to do the same.
