Bhagavad Geeta Chapter 3 Verse 25

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!

Bhagavad Geeta Chapter 3 Verse 19

Quote 28

Therefore, without attachment, always perform action that should be done; for by performing action without attachment, man reaches the Supreme.

Bhagavad Geeta Chapter 3 Verse 9

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!

Bhagavad Geeta Chapter 3 – Verse 8

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.

Bhagavad Geeta Chapter 3 Verses 6-7

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.

Bhagavad Geeta Chapter 3 Verses 4-5

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.

Bhagavad Geeta Quote 18

Bhagavad Geeta – Chapter 2
Lord Krishna’s Guidance to Arjuna

Verses 64 and 65

The self-controlled man, moving amongst objects with the senses under restraint, and free from attraction and repulsion, attains peace.
In that peace all pains are destroyed, for the intellect of the tranquil-minded soon becomes steady.

Bhagavad Geeta Quote 17

Bhagavad Geeta – Chapter 2
Lord Krishna’s Guidance to Arjuna

Verses 62 and 63

When a man thinks of the objects,
attachment to them arises;
from attachment desire is born;
from desire anger arises.
From anger comes delusion;
from delusion the loss of memory;
from loss of memory the destruction of discrimination;
from the destruction of discrimination he perishes.

Beings are unmanifested in their beginning, manifested in their middle state, Oh Arjuna, and unmanifested again
