Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 17 verse 13

 Chapter 17 verse 13 

“Sacrifice devoid of faith and contrary to the injunctions of the scriptures, in which no food is offered, no mantras chanted, and no donation made, is to be considered in the mode of ignorance.” 

Vedic fire sacrifices not performed according to scriptural injunctions where no food is offered, mantras chanted or donations made to the learned and worthy is conducted in vain and sheer ignorance. Likewise action or inaction inappropriate for the particular situation is performed in ignorance. Mindful action is the call made by Bhagwan in this verse.
