Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 18, Verse 59

Krishna said
यदहङ्कारमाश्रित्य न योत्स्य इति मन्यसे।मिथ्यैष व्यवसायस्ते प्रकृतिस्त्वां नियोक्ष्यति ॥18.59॥

yadahaṅkāramāśritya na yotsya iti manyasemithyaiṣa vyavasāyaste prakṛtistvāṃ niyokṣyati

Meaning

If, relying on ego, you think 'I will not fight', your resolve is false. Your own nature will compel you to act.

हिंदी में अर्थ

अगर अहंकार का सहारा लेकर तुम सोचते हो कि 'मैं युद्ध नहीं करूँगा', तो यह निश्चय झूठा है। तुम्हारा स्वभाव ही तुम्हें कर्म में लगा देगा।

Practise it today

Name one responsibility you keep saying you will avoid. Ask honestly whether avoiding it is really possible, and plan one step.

Reflect tonight

What were you resisting today that your nature will push you towards anyway?
