Question 1
What does Krishna teach about action in verse 3.9?
Krishna gives the key principle of the section: work done only for self-interest creates bondage, while work offered as yajna loosens attachment and serves the larger order.
How do verses 3.10-3.11 describe the order of life?
Krishna presents yajna as a cooperative cycle. Human beings, nature, and divine forces are not isolated; each supports the other when life is lived as contribution.
What ethical warning do verses 3.12-3.13 give about receiving and consuming?
Krishna makes reciprocity concrete. The problem is not receiving from nature or society; the problem is consuming as if nothing is owed back to the cycle that sustains us.
This verse expands Karma Yoga beyond individual mood. Human action participates in a larger sustaining order: food, rain, offering, and duty are linked.
Why does Krishna criticize the person described in verse 3.16?
The section closes by warning against a life of taking without returning. Krishna says action should help keep the sustaining wheel moving, not reduce life to personal consumption.
