Acharya Prashant explains that as long as the body exists, action is inevitable, and even the attempt to avoid action becomes an action in itself. He distinguishes between two types of duties: those arising from desire and those arising from compassion. When duty is born of desire, the individual experiences constant restlessness and maintains a violent relationship with the world, viewing others as either prey or predators. This state is rooted in the philosophy of duality, where the self is perceived as separate from the world, leading to a life driven by fear and greed. Such duties are often borrowed from societal conditioning and ignorance rather than personal realization.
