Bhagavad Gīta Bhāshya and Tātparya
B.G 4.33
śreyān dravyamayād yajñājjñānayajñaḥ parantapa। sarvaṁ karmākhilaṁ pārtha jñāne parisamāpyate ॥33॥
O Parantapa, sacrifice of knowledge, is more beneficial than the sacrifices of wealth. O Partha, all deed culminates in the attainment of wholesome wisdom.
Gīta Bhāshya 4.33
The deeds performed as a worship become 'akhilam' i.e. wholesome and results in wisdom.
akhilam upāsanādyaṅgayuktam। jñānaphalameva ityarthaḥ ॥33॥
The word 'akhilam' indicates when 'included as part of the spiritual practice', (and not as unwholesome activity). 'The knowledge is the outcome' is the meaning.
Gīta Tātparya 4.33
All deeds by nature are limited, they become 'akhilam', i.e. wholesome, when they become complete by the birth of wisdom. 'samāpyate' - is used to mean 'culmination' and not 'end'. Inaction is not recommended here, as the chapter ends, asking Arjuna to fight having situated himself in Yōga.
sarvaṁ karma, akhilam ā samantāt alpaṁ, jñāne parisamāpyate - jñāne jāte pūryate।
All deeds by nature are limited, they become 'akhilam', i.e. wholesome, when 'jñāne parisamāpyate' i.e. they become complete by the birth of wisdom.
"samāptavidyān dhanuṣi śreṣṭhān yān sapta manyase।"
"You consider these seven as superior in archery, having completed and mastered their education."
itivat samāptiśabdo'tra pūrtivācī।
is a case in point to show the word 'samāpyate' is used to mean 'completed', i.e. mastered, (and not as end).
"jñānāsinā'tmanaḥ। chittvainaṁ saṁśayaṁ yogamātiṣṭhottiṣṭha"
"Cutting off this doubt born of ignorance, situated in Yōga, stand up to fight" (Gita 4.42)
ityādi punaryoga kathanāt ॥33॥
- such statements ask Arjuna to engage in battle, having situated himself in Yōga (and do not recommend inaction).

बहुचित्रजगद्बहुधाकरणात् परशक्तिरनन्तगुणः परमः ।
सुखरूपममुष्य पदं परमं स्मरतस्तु भविष्यति तत्सततम् ॥
"The one who has created this variegated vast universe with varied forms has infinite power and is of infinite auspicious qualities. He certainly bestows the highest state of bliss to those who meditate on his ever happy essence." -Dwādasha stōtra 4.3
