“If you think you can reach that blessed state of Inaction (naiṣkarmya) merely by doing nothing — by stupor and inertia — and that by dropping all responsibility you can reach Perfection (siddhi), you have wholly misunderstood me.” For not a moment passes without action; everything is driven by the guṇas. Merely donning ochre robes and fleeing to a cave will not win that Perfect Inaction. There is a deeper sense of “action” and “inaction” at work here. Giving up the craving for fruit, dissociating from the bondage of needless involvement, doing only what is ordained and what survival requires, with the senses mastered by a right mind — the one who acts thus, unattached, is the venerable Karma-Yogin.
