What is Doing Everything and yet Do Nothing

The Bhagavad Gita brings in the concept of naishkarmya, or non-doership into everyday life. Arjuna had to fight a war that will result in the death of 4.5 million fighters. He was not willing to be the cause of such colossal sin. And yet Krishna goaded him into action by explaining to him how at the core, he will remain a non-doer. Poojya Swamiji elaborates on Gita’s concept of inactivity in activity in excruciating detail.

Slokas chanted in the track

वेदाविनाशिनं नित्यं य एनमजमव्ययम् ।
कथं स पुरुषः पार्थ कं घातयति हन्ति कम् ॥
(Bhagavad Gita 2.21)

नैव किञ्चित्करोमीति युक्तो मन्येत तत्त्ववित् ।
पश्यञ्श‍ृण्वन्स्पृशञ्जिघ्रन्नश्नन्गच्छन्स्वपञ्श्वसन् ॥
(Bhagavad Gita 5.8)
