Verse 3·5

All life exists within action, none attains without

Verse

न हि कश्चित्क्षणमपि जातु तिष्ठत्यकर्मकृत् ।कार्यते ह्यवशः कर्म सर्वः प्रकृतिजैर्गुणैः ॥

na hi kaścitkṣaṇamapi jātu tiṣṭhatyakarmakṛtkāryate hyavaśaḥ karma sarvaḥ prakṛtijairguṇaiḥ

For none stands even for a moment not doing work, everyone is made to do action helplessly by the modes born of Prakriti.
