SHRIMAD BHAGVAD GITA-A JAIN PERSPECTIVE
न हि कश्चित्क्षणमपि जातु तिष्ठत्यकर्मकृत् । कार्यते ह्यवश: कर्म सर्व: प्रकृतिजैर्गुणैः
"No one can remain without performing action even for a moment because everyone has to act involuntarily on account of the activities of three Gunas in Nature." - 5
कर्मोन्द्रियाणि संयम्य च आस्ते मनसा स्मरन् । इन्द्रियान्विमूढात्मा मिथ्याचारः स उच्यते ॥ ६ ॥
11 4 11
"If one restrains his sense organs but in his mind remembers sense objects he is a deluded person and is called a hypocrite"-6 यस्त्विन्द्रियाणि मनसा नियम्यारभतेऽर्जुन । कर्मेन्द्रियैः कर्मयोगमसक्तः स विशिष्यते ॥ ७ ॥
"But O Arjuna, a person who can keep all his senses under his mental control and engages them in action without attachment, he excels."-7
नियतं कूरु कर्म त्वं कर्म ज्यायो हा कर्मणः । शरीरयात्राणि च ते न प्रसिद्धयेदकर्मणः
