Doing nothing can be Addictive - Bhagavad Gita - 2.3

Its been very long since I wrote a blog post or read a book. The creative part of me has been in hibernation for sometime. If I start giving excuses , there can be a big list. of course more work load, chores at home etc. But this did not stop me from watching web series or movies on TV! Silicon Valley being one of them.

My friend has been following up with me to resume with the recordings for our podcasts. I have not been able to find time for that either. 

This made me think that the thread of "not doing things" if started will have cascaded effect and we will get addicted to it mush faster.

In Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna after listening to Arjuna's lamentation for a long time (all of chapter 1) says that -

क्षुद्रं हृदयदौर्बल्यं त्यक्त्वोत्तिष्ठ परन्तप

that is it does not suit you to have such petty weakness, Leave it aside and Get up and Do your Dharma!

Weakness of not doing things(Read it as meaningful things) is so natural. It is a least resistive path!
Only way to come out of it is to Start Doing Things. One of our CEO always said that  - The trick is in Doing! I couldn't agree more!

I realized that I have already written a post on verse 2.3 here
