Hari!Om!
Actions & Inaction in the aforesaid phrases are very important in our lives. I am sharing my thoughts to know
others views and learn more or better in the process.
The Bhagavad Gita and all such texts & Scriptures convey very very deep messages. They were all meticulously designed to cater to every Individual Intellectual Capacity of ALL TIME and not prescribed for specific set of people or class or level of education or intelligence. They were rendered as a part of SANATANA DHARMA, A Way of Life & Living. Every time one reads them a different perception comes to view, depending on the level of one’s knowledge, like a Pandora’s Box. And definitely, no perception is wrong. Action or Inaction are both by themselves, 2 sides of the same coin. Action in Inaction can be - Not being tempted into any particular action. Inaction in Action can be – to be detached from the results of action. This may be one perception. Simple example, A parent’s act of indifference to the child’s adamant demands. Here the child is being psychologically trained to know what should be “the fair requirements” and to learn to not to be adamant. The Interview of a Job or a Business Meeting for an Order, being fair & honest to yourself & the Job / Business instead of pretending in front of the audience without clinging on to the result, ie. A Job Offer or an Order Confirmation from the Client can explain Inaction in Action. We should not be tempted or forced into any action or inaction by whatever means and maintain a detached attitude from the results of the action or inaction, irrespective of whatever is done through out the process of action or inaction. There are innumerable perceptions of the phrases with still more innumerable examples to explain or convey the meaning. These phrases are are pointers & reminders, a wake-up call to us, as in the quagmire of life, handling our desires / emotions / duties, we tend to forget, the only reason we are in the World. We should follow our Svadharma and do our duties, wherever we are, whatever is our situation, with our Intellects in control of our Minds. Intellect and Mind are 2 sides of the same coin and Intellect should not be confused for Intelligence. Intelligence is only to do with gross knowledge or expertise in different subjects of the world. Intellect is something very subtle and is a subject of knowing oneself and to have the senses & mind in its control. This message is conveyed in the famous picture of The Bhagavat Gita, we all know, ie. Lord Krishna driving the Chariot of Arjuna as his Charioteer. Krishna personifies the Atman or Intellect in us; Arjuna, our gross Bodies, the Embodiment and the doer or actor; the horses as the Mind; the reins of the horses as the desires; the Chariot as our Life Cycles; if the desires of the mind are in good control of the Intellect our life can get a smooth sailing to our ORIGIN after duly conducting all our duties in the world, meticulously. This is the essence of the message in the picture. The Actions & Inactions are nothing the expressions of one’s duties in the world. Learning in life is never ending. Even after all that we learn or experience in life, we are a "Zero". That is the power of zero, the summit or culmination of all knowledge.
