Gurudev, the Gita says, "Wise is the one who doesn’t start anything". Could you speak about what Krishna means by this and the context of this statement?
Krishna also says, "In the world, you cannot be without doing anything". Not even for a few minutes someone can be without any activity. At the same time he says that also. So you cannot just take one thing out of context and try to understand it. You have to go step-by-step, otherwise you will be in conflict because the Gita is from one step to another; one step to another. You cannot understand anything in isolation.
Even Arjuna says, "Why do you confuse me, you say all sorts of opposite things. One time you say Karma is important, other time you say drop all Karma and surrender to me. I am so confused". The Bhagavad Gita is meant to confuse you. Whenever confusion arises in you that time one level of understanding is broken down, and a paradigm shift is happening. .It is good. So go step-by-step.
