Bhagavad Gita 3.5

न हि कश्िचत्क्षणमपि जातु तिष्ठत्यकर्मकृत्।कार्यते ह्यवशः कर्म सर्वः प्रकृतिजैर्गुणैः॥

na hi kaśिcatkṣaṇamapi jātu tiṣṭhatyakarmakṛt |kāryate hyavaśaḥ karma sarvaḥ prakṛtijairguṇaiḥ ||

Verily, no one can remain for even a moment without performing action; for everyone is made to act helplessly, indeed, by the qualities born of Nature.

He cannot remain inactive even for a moment, for the qualities of Nature will compel him to act, whether he wills it or not.

Our plain-language meaning of this verse is waiting for scholar review.
