Bhagavad Gita · 3.5

न हि कश्चित्क्षणमपि जातु तिष्ठत्यकर्मकृत्।कार्यते ह्यवशः कर्म सर्वः प्रकृतिजैर्गुणैः॥

na hi kaśhchit kṣhaṇam api jātu tiṣhṭhaty akarma-kṛt kāryate hy avaśhaḥ karma sarvaḥ prakṛti-jair guṇaiḥ

No one can remain without action even for a moment. Everyone is helplessly driven to act by the qualities born of material nature.

— Bhagavad Gita 3.5
