न हिकश्चित् क्षणमपि जातु तिष्ठत्यकमकृत् । कार्यते ह्यवशः कम सवः प्रकृतिज गुणै ॥ तस्मादतः सततं कार्य कर्म समाचर । असतो ह्याचरन् कर्म परमाप्नोति पुरुषः ॥
No one can remain absolutely inactive even for a moment. Propelled by the power of nature, one is forced to work.
Therefore, do thou always perform actions which are obligatory, without attachment; by performing action without attachment, one attains to the highest.
-Bhagavad Gitâ, Ch. III, 5 & 19.
