RIGHT ACTION

No one can, even for an instant, remain really action less; for helplessly is every one propelled to action by his innate qualities.

III-5

Ambitious attempts on the part of men to retire from activity and follow the path of Sanyaasa lead to hypocrisy, self-deception, and increased impurity of mind. The safer course for men is to seek to do things in a detached spirit.

 

The man who sits, restraining his organs of action, but dwelling in his mind on the objects of the senses, deludes himself and is called a hypocrite.

III-6

But he is worthy who controls the senses by his mind, uses his organs of action without developing attachment towards sense-objects, and thus practises the Yoga of action.

III-7
