action

Watching his speech, well restrained in mind, let a man never commit any wrong with his body! Let a man but keep these three roads of action clear, and he will achieve the way which is taught by the wise. Buddha

A fool does not know when he commits his evil deeds: but the wicked man burns by his own deeds, as if burnt by fire. Buddha

One should not unsettle the understanding of the ignorant, attached to action; the wise one, steadily acting, should engage in all work. Lord Krishna

He whose intellect is unattached everywhere, who has subdued his heart, whose desires have fled, he attains by renunciation to the supreme perfection, consisting of freedom from action. Lord Krishna

Devotees in the path of work perform action, only with body, mind, senses, and intellect, forsaking attachment, for the purification of the heart. Lord Krishna

The evil-doer mourns in this world, and he mourns in the next; he mourns in both. He mourns and suffers when he sees the evil of his own work. Buddha

Endued with this evenness of mind, one frees oneself in this life, alike from vice and virtue. Devote thyself, therefore, to this Yoga. Yoga is the very dexterity of work. Lord Krishna
