Translation
For a meditating person (a person in nididhyāsanam), there is no other activity apart from maintaining the body. Negate the superimposition in your mind with a constant one–pointed focus on Brahman.
Annotation
In the context of a renounced person, the Gita (4–21) prescribes activity only to the extent of maintenance of the body. In the textual variation “anādāna–visārgābhyām”, the meaning can be taken as “apart from eschewing sensual pleasures, the seeker has no other karma”.
