Bhagavad-gita As It Is

BG Chapters 1 - 6

Bhīṣmadeva might become engaged in the fight, and the enemy might take advantage of his full engagement on one side.
BG 1.11, Purport:

Duryodhana, after praising the prowess of Bhīṣma, further considered that others might think that they had been considered less important, so in his usual diplomatic way, he tried to adjust the situation in the above words. He emphasized that Bhīṣmadeva was undoubtedly the greatest hero, but he was an old man, so everyone must especially think of his protection from all sides. He might become engaged in the fight, and the enemy might take advantage of his full engagement on one side. Therefore, it was important that other heroes not leave their strategic positions and allow the enemy to break the phalanx.

Bewildered by the modes of material nature, the ignorant fully engage themselves in material activities and become attached.
BG 3.29, Translation:

Bewildered by the modes of material nature, the ignorant fully engage themselves in material activities and become attached. But the wise should not unsettle them, although these duties are inferior due to the performers' lack of knowledge.

A Kṛṣṇa conscious person, fully engaged in self-realization, has very little time to falsely possess any material object.
BG 4.21, Purport:

A cruel proprietor of an animal sometimes kills the animal in his possession, yet the animal does not protest. Nor does it have any real independence. A Kṛṣṇa conscious person, fully engaged in self-realization, has very little time to falsely possess any material object. For maintaining body and soul, he does not require unfair means of accumulating money. He does not, therefore, become contaminated by such material sins. He is free from all reactions to his actions.
