Earlier in the chapter, Arjuna asked Shri Krishna to point out the signs of a person of steady wisdom. To that end, he asked Shri Krishna to answer the following questions: how does he sit, speak and walk. In this shloka, hence the use of the word "charati" meaning "walks" is used to denote the conclusion of the answer to the question, "how does a person of steady intellect walk?".
 
Shri Krishna summarizes the entire topic of the signs of a wise person in four points. He first asks us to give up selfish desires using the technique of karma yoga. Next, he asks us to give up cravings for things we already possess, which is the second point here. And to eliminate even the slightest trace of selfishness, he finally asks us to give up the sense of "I-ness" and "mine-ness" which we had seen in the first chapter, also known as "ahankaara"' and "mamataa". The goal attained by giving up these four things is also repeated here for emphasis: it is everlasting peace.
 
As a point of clarification, let us remember that for most of us, abandoning these four things will not happen overnight. We have to follow a disciplined technique to do so, and only after having applied this technique for a period of time will be begin to see the desires, cravings, ego and mine-ness slowly lose their grip.
 
With this shloka, Shri Krishna concludes the final topic of the second chapter, that of the signs of a wise person. The next shloka will be the last shloka in the second chapter, a wonderful milestone in our journey. This shloka is the seed of the fifth and sixth chapters of the Gita that cover the topic of renunciation of actions.
