Spiegazione
Krishna explains why total inaction is impossible. Every living being is moved by the qualities (guṇa) that arise from nature (prakṛti), the material world in its constant activity. Breathing, thinking, even sitting still are forms of action. So the real choice is not between acting and not acting, but between acting in bondage and acting freely. This verse introduces prakṛti and the guṇas, ideas that become central later in the Gita. Here they serve a practical point: since action cannot be avoided, it must be transformed.
