Verse 3.4

न कर्मणामनारम्भान्नैष्कर्म्यं पुरुषोऽश्नुते। न च संन्यसनादेव सिद्धिं समधिगच्छति।।3.4।।

na karmaṇām anārambhān naiṣhkarmyaṁ puruṣho ’śhnute na cha sannyasanād eva siddhiṁ samadhigachchhati

Meaning

No cap, you can't achieve total chill by just not doing stuff, and you can't become a total boss by just quitting.

Commentary

Yo, chillin' and not doing stuff doesn't make you enlightened, and neither does just ditching everything. Real actionlessness? That's like, a total state of being, knowing yourself so well you're straight-up vibing with the universe. It's not about avoiding things, it's about knowing yourself. If you're just sitting around, still thinking and planning, you ain't reached that level. True enlightenment is about being free from all that mental noise, from wanting and not wanting. You can't just quit doing stuff and become enlightened; you gotta know yourself first.
