The article explores the concept of desireless action in the Bhagavadgītā, focusing on Kṛṣṇa's teachings to act without desire. Modern scholars have critiqued this idea, suggesting that intentional action always involves desire. The essay aims to understand how desireless action can be achieved and examines the validity of advocating for it.
