Bhagavad Gita 3.5 meaning

na hi kashchit kshanam api jatu tishthaty-akarmakrit karyate hy-avashah karma sarvah prakritijair gunaih
न हि कश्चित्क्षणमपि जातु तिष्ठत्यकर्मकृत्। कार्यते ह्यवशः कर्म सर्वः प्रकृतिजैर्गुणैः॥

No one can remain without acting even for a moment. Everyone is driven to act, like it or not, by the qualities that come from nature.

What it means
Breathing, thinking, choosing—you're always acting. Since doing nothing isn't really an option, the real question is what you do and in what spirit. Make your unavoidable actions count.

हिंदी में अर्थ

कोई भी एक पल के लिए भी बिना कर्म किए नहीं रह सकता। प्रकृति से पैदा हुए गुण हर किसी को मजबूरन काम में लगाए रखते हैं।

साँस लेना, सोचना, चुनना—हम हर पल कुछ कर रहे हैं। जब कर्म से बचना संभव ही नहीं, तो असली सवाल यह है कि हम क्या और किस भाव से करें।

Spoken by Krishna.
