Bhagavad Gita 3.4
न कर्मणामनारम्भान्नैष्कर्म्यं पुरुषोऽश्नुते।न च संन्यसनादेव सिद्धिं समधिगच्छति॥
na karmaṇāmanārambhānnaiṣkarmyaṃ puruṣo'śnute |na ca saṃnyasanādeva siddhiṃ samadhigacchati ||
Man does not reach actionlessness by not performing actions; nor does he attain perfection by mere renunciation.
No one can attain freedom from action by abstaining from action, nor can they reach perfection by simply not acting.
Our plain-language meaning of this verse is waiting for scholar review.
