सहजं कर्म कौन्तेय सदोषमपि न त्यजेत्।
सर्वारम्भा हि दोषेण धूमेनाग्निरिवावृताः॥
अतएव हे कुन्ती पुत्र! दोष युक्त होने पर भी सहज कर्म को नहीं त्यागना चाहिए, क्योंकि धूएँ से अग्नि की भाँति सभी कर्म किसी न किसी दोष से युक्त हैं।[श्रीमद्भागवत गीता 18.48]
O The son of Kunti! Innate, natural, instinctive duties should not be given up by the individual, since all deeds are associated with defects, just as fire is accompanied with smoke.
प्रकृति के अनुसार शास्त्र विधि से नियत किए हुए वर्णाश्रम के धर्म और सामान्य धर्म रूप स्वाभाविक कर्म हैं, उनको ही यहाँ स्वधर्म, सहज कर्म, स्वकर्म, नियत कर्म, स्वभावज कर्म, स्वभावनियत कर्म इत्यादि नामों से कहा गया है। जो सहज कर्म हैं, उनमें भी कोई दोष आ जाये तो भी वे त्याज्य नहीं हो सकते, क्योंकि, सभी कर्मों में कुछ ना कुछ दोष अवश्य है, जैसे प्रकार अग्नि में धुआँ।
परमात्मा का अंश आत्मा-शरीरी, प्रकृति के आधीन शरीर में होने के कारण परतंत्र हो जाता है, जो कि स्वयं में एक दोष है। कर्म में कहीं न कहीं हिंसा हो ही जाती है। कर्म किसी के अनुकूल तो किसी के प्रतिकूल होता है और प्रतिकूल होना दोष है।
The Almighty and HIS incarnations are independent, while the nature and the human body-physical component of nature are not independent. Incarnations of God loses their independence under the control of nature. Actions carried out through the human body and the assumption of having done them by the person-self is loss of independence-freedom. Dependence over nature in itself is a great defect.
Every action is associated with inherent, consequential, incidental, connected, concomitant, essential defects, such as violence. The action will either favour to one person or disfavour to the other person or it may go against any other person. Defects like intoxication-frenzy evolve defects in deeds. There may be defects due to errors, in procedures, methods, working, performances.
Inherent activities of Brahmans are placid and mild, as compared to that of Kshatriy, Vaeshy or Shudr. Still, the Kshatriy, Vaeshy and Shudr remain free from defects. On the contrary, they are benefited by observing them, since they are according to their nature, prescribed and easy to do and in line with scriptures. Even the mandatory sins associated with violence, do not affect them.
Inherit, innate, instinctive performances are not obstruction to liberation, if they are free from desires-motives, irrespective of the defects by virtue of dependence over place, time, situation, incident, opposition to, by others. Bonds created by ego, desires, attachments, selfishness etc., results in sins.
Prescribed duties do not involve labour or practice, since they are inherent and devoid of desires, pleasures, comforts, gratification and are not tainted, even though associated with defects. Selfless performances with social service, welfare, benefit, benevolence, at heart results in acquiring pious, sacred, auspicious, virtuous, characters to help in next births.
