Description

Acharya Prashant addresses the perceived contradiction between verses 33 and 43 of Chapter 3 of the Srimad Bhagavad Gita regarding restraint. He explains that verse 33 refers to the inviolable control of Nature over the physical body and brain. Mortal beings, whether ignorant or realized, cannot stop the physical operations of Nature; they can only distance themselves from its dictates. Nature is characterized by constant movement and action, meaning stillness is impossible at the physical level. Therefore, the speaker emphasizes that one must act because Nature itself is all about action.
