Bhagavad Gita 3.4
न कर्मणामनारम्भान्नैष्कर्म्यं पुरुषोऽश्नुते। न च संन्यसनादेव सिद्धिं समधिगच्छति॥
na karmaṇām anārambhān naiṣhkarmyaṁ puruṣho ’śhnute na cha sannyasanād eva siddhiṁ samadhigachchhati
Translation
Man winneth not freedom from action by abstaining from activity, nor by mere renunciation doth he rise to perfection.
What it means
No one wins freedom merely by not acting, nor perfection by mere renunciation. Escape is not achievement. What you refuse to do does not purify what you are.
Try this today
Quitting is not liberation. Avoidance looks like peace but changes nothing inside.
Something to reflect on
Where am I calling avoidance 'rest' or 'detachment'?
