Quote 29
As the ignorant men act from attachment to action, Oh Bharata (Arjuna), so should the wise act without attachment, wishing the welfare of the world!
Quote 28
Therefore, without attachment, always perform action that should be done; for by performing action without attachment, man reaches the Supreme.
Quote 27
The world is bound by actions other than those performed for the sake of sacrifice (selfless actions). Therefore, O son of Kunti, perform action for the sake of sacrifice, for duty alone, free from attachment!
Quote 26
Perform your bounden duty, for action is superior to inaction and even
the maintenance of the body would not be possible for you by inaction.
Quote 25
Lord Krishna guides King Arjuna
He who, restraining the organs of action, sits thinking of
the sense-objects in mind, he of deluded understanding, is called a hypocrite.
But whoever, controlling the senses by the mind, engages himself in Karma
Yoga with the organs of action, without attachment, he excels O Arjuna.
Quote 24
Lord Krishna guides King Arjuna
By the non-performance of actions man does not reach actionlessness,
nor by mere renunciation does he attain perfection.
Indeed none can ever remain for even a moment without performing action;
for, everyone is made to act helplessly indeed by the qualities born of Nature.

Verse 26.
Oh Rama, it is indeed nobler to wander begging about the streets, an earthen bowl in hand, than to live a life steeped in ignorance.

Sage Vasishta’s Guidance to Lord Rama
Verse 24.
The Self is more extensive than space; it is pure, subtle, undecaying and auspicious. As such how could it be born and how can it die ?
Yoga Vasishta Sara – Chapter 1
Sage Vasishta’s Guidance to Lord Rama
Verse 23.
Nothing whatever is born or dies anywhere at any time. It is Brahman (Self) alone appearing illusorily in the form of the world.

Sage Vasishta’s Guidance to Lord Rama
Verse 22.
When pots, etc. are broken, the space within them becomes unlimited. So also when bodies cease to exist, the Self remains eternal and unattached.
