The Path of Action
सदृशं चेष्टते स्वस्याः प्रकृतेर्ज्ञानवानपि। प्रकृतिं यान्ति भूतानि निग्रहः किं करिष्यति
sadṛiśhaṁ cheṣhṭate svasyāḥ prakṛiter jñānavān api prakṛitiṁ yānti bhūtāni nigrahaḥ kiṁ kariṣhyati
Even the wise man acts in accordance with his nature; indeed, all creatures act according to their natures. What is the use of compulsion then?
sadṛiśham—accordingly · cheṣhṭate—act · svasyāḥ—by their own · prakṛiteḥ—modes of nature · jñāna-vān—the wise · api—even · prakṛitim—nature · yānti—follow · bhūtāni—all living beings · nigrahaḥ—repression · kim—what · kariṣhyati—will do
