It seems that the definition of meditation as "a state of no actions and no thoughts" falls short of a true understanding of the practice.
According to Krishna, the key to no action is to let go of selfish actions and even selfless ones should be consumed by the fire of knowledge. But what knowledge is he referring to? It is the knowledge that the Self is a non-actor.
Therefore, a wise person who is fully satisfied with the bliss of the Self has no intention of gaining anything from the world and doesn't really do anything, even though they may act tirelessly in the world.
This is similar to an actor on stage, who is fully aware that he is only pretending to be the character that he plays perfectly, without being really affected by the situations in the play.
