Bhagavad Gita 18.60

Previous verse · Next verse

स्वभावजेन कौन्तेय निबद्धः स्वेन कर्मणा। कर्तुं नेच्छसि यन्मोहात्करिष्यस्यवशोऽपि तत्॥

Bound by your own duty born of your nature, O son of Kunti, that which out of delusion you do not wish to do, you will do helplessly.

One's latent tendencies (Svabhava) inevitably drive behavior; wisdom lies in consciously aligning work with righteousness.
