Interpretation

This is the liberating insight: the seer recognizes that all action in nature is performed by the gunas acting upon themselves — there is no separate doer apart from this interplay. The ego-sense of 'I am the doer' dissolves. Simultaneously, the seer knows what is beyond the gunas — the witness consciousness, the pure Self. This dual recognition — that all action belongs to nature (gunas) and the true Self is the unaffected witness beyond nature — constitutes liberation. Such a seer attains the Divine Being of Krishna, the state beyond all guna-entanglement.
