The Yoga of Action

Krishna delivers a stark verdict: break the cycle of reciprocity (yajna), live in vain (mogham). When you live purely for sense gratification (indriyārāma) without contributing back, your existence becomes 'aghāyuḥ'—a wasted life. This isn't moral judgment but existential truth: pure consumption without contribution leaves you fundamentally empty. You may be successful, comfortable, even happy, but if life is only about what you extract, you're not truly living—just existing.
