Bhagwad Gita:Chapter 3- Why We Cannot Escape Responsibility (karma Yoga)

## Bhagavad Gita Chapter 3: Why We Cannot Escape Responsibility

A reflective discussion on action, duty, and why withdrawal from responsibility is rarely the freedom it appears to be.

When life feels overwhelming, many of us dream of stepping away — quitting, withdrawing, or doing nothing at all.
Bhagavad Gita Chapter 3 confronts this instinct directly, questioning whether inaction is ever truly possible, and whether escaping responsibility actually brings peace. This chapter explores the uncomfortable idea that action is unavoidable — and what that means for how we live.
