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.
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 – 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.

Verse 29
One sees This (the Self) as a wonder; another speaks of It as a wonder; another hears of It as a wonder; yet, having heard, none understands It at all.
Bhagavad Geeta – Chapter 2

Verse 28
Beings are unmanifested in their beginning, manifested in their middle state, Oh Arjuna, and unmanifested again
in their end! What is there to grieve about?

Lord Krishna’s Guidance to Arjuna
Verse 25
This (Self) is said to be unmanifested, unthinkable and unchangeable. Therefore, knowing This to be such, you should not grieve.
