The Yoga of Action

Krishna teaches skillful guidance: 'Na buddhi-bhedaṁ janayed ajñānāṁ karma-saṅginām'—don't disturb the understanding of those attached to action. Telling someone 'your way is wrong' creates resistance, not transformation. Instead, 'joṣayet sarva-karmāṇi vidvān yuktaḥ samācaran'—the wise (vidvān) inspire through their own skillful action (samācaran). Meet people where they are. Don't lecture about better ways—live them so compellingly that others ask to learn. The wise don't force understanding; they create conditions for it to emerge.
