The Lord Sri Krishna answers that One can choose from two lifestyles called karma-yoganiṣṭhā (social life) as a householder and jñāna-yoga-niṣṭhā (secluded life) as a monk.
Lord Kṛishṇa condemns inaction and praises an alert and active life. Inaction should be avoided because:
- Neither purity nor knowledge can be achieved by that (4).
- Desires force one to act and inaction will be a suppression (5).
- A mind without the occupation will be idle. It will brood over sense-pleasures. Such a hypocritical mind will soon fall.
