RIGHT ACTION |

| Engage
yourself in proper activities. Action is better than non-action.
Without work, even the bare sustenance of life is not possible.
III-8 Men suffer the bondage of Karma only when an act is done otherwise than in the spirit of sacrifice. In that spirit, free from attachment, engage yourself in action. III-9 The first impulse of a religious mind is to abstain from activity and renounce the world. Indeed, the earlier Hindu teaching displayed a leaning towards this. The Gita, however, definitely rejects this solution. With inherited tendencies, it emphasizes, action is inevitable. Repression causes the mind to run on, even while externally restrained from finding expression in action, and leads to hypocrisy or perversion; whereas the practice of the method of detachment trains the Soul without unnatural repression to liberate itself from the load of inherited qualities. |
