"मग्ना ज्ञाननयैषिणोऽपि यदतिस्वच्छन्दमन्दोद्यमाः ।"
Meaning: Even the followers of the standpoint of knowledge who become unrestrained and tardy get drowned in the ocean of transmigration (Samsara).
Furthermore, there in the verse "ज्ञानिन् कर्म न जातु कर्तुमुचित2" and in theverse "तथापि न निरर्गलं चरितुमिष्यते ज्ञानिनः 3" etc., the unrestrained conduct has been prohibited. An action which is not done willfully is not the cause of bondage of karma. Indulging in an act willfully by becoming its doer and claiming to remain its knower only is not possible. So is described in above verses. Therefore, knowing attachment, etc. passions as bad and harmful, one must make effort to uproot them.
There, step by step, first of all, one should give up inauspici-ous acts for forsaking intense passions, etc. and should engage oneself in auspicious acts. Thereafter, even for forsaking feeble passions, one should give up auspicious acts also and evolve the state of passionless conduct (Shuddhopayoga).
___Further, many people reduce activities relating to business, etc. as well as cohabitation etc. feeling anguish in the inauspicious acts, and knowing the auspicious conduct to be worthless, do not study the scripture, etc. and have also not attained passionless form of pure conduct of self absorbedness (Shuddhopayoga). Therefore, they become idle, inactive by forsaking endeavour for wealth, sex, piety and liberation.

1. मग्नाः कर्मनयावलम्बनपरा ज्ञान न जानन्ति यन्,
मग्ना ज्ञाननयैषिणोऽपि यदतिस्वच्छन्दमन्दोद्ययाः । विश्वस्योपरि ते तरन्ति सततं ज्ञान भवन्तः स्वयं,
ये कुर्वन्ति न कर्म जातु न वंश यान्ति प्रमादस्य च ॥111।। 2. ज्ञानिन् कर्म न जातु कर्तुमुचित किंचित्तथाप्युप्युच्य ते,
मुंक्षे हंत न जातु मे यदि परं दुर्भुक्त एवासि भोः । बधः स्यादुपभोगतो यदि न तत्किं कामचारोऽस्ति ते,
ज्ञान सन्वस बंधमेष्यपरथा स्वस्यापराधाधुवम् ॥151॥ 3. तथापि न निरर्गल चरितुमिष्यते ज्ञानिना तदायतनमेव
सा किल निरर्गला व्यापृतिः । अकामकृतकर्म तन्मतमकारण ज्ञानिना द्वयं न हि विरुध्यते किमु करोति जानाति च ॥1661 .
