In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna Bhagavan said: If I do not perform action, these worlds will perish; nay, I should be the author of confusion of castes and of the destruction of these people. -Gita, III: 24 Arjuna, as the unwise act with attachment, so should the wise man, seeking maintenance of the world order, act without attachment. - Gita, III: 25 “That means, if I do not perform action, no one else will perform actions. There will be confusion of castes. Why should I be the cause of that? That is why I am doing all actions. While ignorant people do actions with desires, I do them without desires. That is the meaning. Hence Karma Sannyasa means, one should know the difference between attributes of the senses and the attributes of karma, and with that knowledge remain desireless and, at the same time unattached to all actions and conduct oneself as only a witness. That is Karma Sannyasa. There is not much use in mere outward sannyasa.” (Bhagavan in Letters from Sri Ramanasramam 219)
