In a society which encourages us to take the necessary steps and actions to solve our challenges, it’s hard to not act at times, but we also need to learn the skill of inaction and when to do this.
6. The person whose mind is always free from attachment, who has subdued the mind and senses, and who is free from desires, attains the supreme perfection of freedom from Karma through renunciation.
7. As the blazing fire reduces wood to ashes, similarly, the fire of Self-knowledge reduces all Karma to ashes.
