Bhagavad Gita Chapter 3, Shloka 4
न कर्मणामनारम्भान्नैष्कर्म्यं पुरुषोऽश्नुते | न च सन्न्यसनादेव सिद्धिं समधिगच्छति ||
na karmaṇām anārambhān naiṣkarmyaṃ puruṣho 'śhnute | na cha sannyasanād eva siddhiṃ samadhigachchhati ||
Translation: "A person does not attain freedom from action by merely abstaining from work; nor does he attain perfection by merely renouncing work."
Explanation: In this shloka, Lord Krishna emphasizes that simply avoiding action (work) does not lead to freedom from the bondage of action (naiṣkarmya). Similarly, perfection and liberation cannot be achieved merely by renouncing all activities. Instead, it is through the proper performance of one's prescribed duties with the right attitude that one can achieve true liberation and perfection. Bhagavad Gita Chapter 3, Shloka 5
