सदृशं चेष्टते स्वस्याः प्रकृतेर्ज्ञानवानपि ।प्रकृतिं यान्ति भूतानि निग्रहः किं करिष्यति ॥
sadṛśaṃ ceṣṭate svasyāḥ prakṛterjñānavānapiprakṛtiṃ yānti bhūtāni nigrahaḥ kiṃ kariṣyati
All existences follow their nature and what shall coercing it avail? Even the man of knowledge acts according to his own nature.
Gītā 3·33There is therefore a distinction to be made between what is essential in the nature, its native and inevitable action, which it avails not at all to repress, suppress, coerce, and what is accidental to it, its wanderings, confusions, perversions, over which we must certainly get control.
