Action & Gita

Action we have to do ...it is not a choice....there is no such thing as inaction...what action we choose is a choice and what intention and attitude we choose is a choice

Each action will have a result...even just sitting around means muscles will act & react in a way and heat & cold will affect teh body.

Action will have some result is the law. And there are only 4 possible outcomes

• as expected
• better than expected
• worse than expected
• the un expected

We can do it 

• Happily 
• As a duty with a straight face 
• Happily as a duty
• Duty as a chore 
• Duty submitted to God 

Now for doing an action we need ( 18.14)

• Base / Place : Where / Body
• Doer / Person : By whom 
• Tools (sense organs, actions organs, intellect, ego & mind) BMI or external : By medium 
• Effort : Getting Thought (from mind) into action by various functions using sense & action organs 
• Devyam : X Factor / Grace / Wow factor/ Prarabhd / Conciousness

And teh most important , well known and often misunderstood verse 2.47 , which basically says...

•Right to work only
•Never to fruits of actions
•Let not fruits of actions motivate you to work
•Let not your attachment be to inaction ( inaction means action that is not your duty)
