Explanation
The chapter pivots from describing the field to describing jnana — and notably defines wisdom not as a set of doctrines but as a list of character traits: humility, freedom from pretension, non-violence (ahimsa), forbearance, straightforwardness. This is functionally the same move chapter 12 makes when describing the qualities of Krishna’s devotee (12.13-20) and chapter 16 makes for the “divine” nature (16.1-3) — the Gita repeatedly cashes out abstract wisdom in observable conduct rather than propositions.
