The Yoga of Liberation by Renunciation

This verse explains the power of nature: bound by your own action born of your nature (svabhāva-jena kaunteya nibaddhaḥ svena karmaṇā), that which you do not desire to do from delusion, you will do helplessly even that (kartuṁ necchasi yan mohāt kariṣyasy avaśo 'pi tat). This is the key teaching: you are bound by your own action born of your nature. Even if you don't want to do something from delusion, you will do it helplessly because nature will compel you. You cannot escape action—nature will force you. The only way to be free is through understanding and performing action with the right attitude, not through delusion or avoidance. When you understand this, you realize: you don't need to try to avoid action through delusion. Your nature will compel you to act anyway. You can perform action with understanding and the right attitude, which leads to freedom. This is the path: perform action with understanding and the right attitude, not avoid it through delusion.
