Chapter 6 verse 3
“For a sage who wishes to attune to yoga, action is said
to be the means; for the same sage who has attuned to yoga, inaction is said to
be the means”
Action without expecting fruits of the action is the way
to bring body, mind and intellect in unison- otherwise called yoga and person
who does this would be a yogin. For the person who has accomplished this, they
view both action and inaction as one and the same- sama in Sanskrit means mind
control or thought control. Krishna says in earlier verse to get to a state of
thoughtlessness. In this verse, he says that the yogin reaches that state in
which all actions appear as if they are not doing anything and inaction is
neither superior nor inferior to action at that point. This verse should not be
misconstrued as a self realized yogi doesn’t need to act- just that they drop
the doer ship.
