The Yoga of Liberation by Renunciation

Krishna explains the power of nature. 'Svabhāva-jena kaunteya nibaddhaḥ svena karmaṇā'—bound (nibaddhaḥ) by your own action (svena karmaṇā) born of your nature (svabhāva-jena), O son of Kunti (kaunteya). 'Kartuṁ necchasi yan mohāt kariṣyasy avaśo 'pi tat'—that which (yat) you do not desire (na icchasi) to do (kartum) from delusion (mohāt), you will do (kariṣyasi) helplessly (avaśaḥ) even (api) that (tat). This is the key teaching: you are bound by your own action born of your nature. Even if you don't want to do something from delusion, you will do it helplessly because nature will compel you. This emphasizes that you cannot escape action—nature will force you. The only way to be free is through understanding and performing action with the right attitude, not through delusion or avoidance.
