Chap 3 detachment while doing duty

Chap 3 takeaways 

no one can remain without action, as all beings are compelled by the qualities of nature (gunas) to act.

So Inaction is not a viable path to liberation

 So also mere physical renunciation also does not lead to perfection. (When mind continues to be active)

 So enjoy the fruits of this cycle by offering something in return 

Desire and anger, both arising from passion (rajas), are the primary enemies that delude the intellect and obscure true knowledge. 

So control the senses, mind, and intellect to overcome these inner enemies.

and perform duties without attachment, 

 ultimately slaying desire through self-realization.
