The Yoga of Action

Krishna reveals cosmic reciprocity through yajna. When you nourish the greater whole, it nourishes you back—not as transaction but as ecology. Like breathing: you give CO2, plants give oxygen. The devas (natural forces, life-sustaining systems) thrive when you serve them through selfless action. This is parasparam bhāvayantaḥ—mutual flourishing through mutual contribution. Extraction depletes; reciprocity sustains.
