Chapter-3
Karmayoga
26. Let him not unsettle the minds of the ignorant that cling to action. Rather the enlightened man should by working in the spirit of Yoga, encourage devotion to the works.Arjuna, how can the child that suckles its mother with difficulty, eat sweetmeats? So one should not give those to him. One should not disclose even in fun, freedom from action to one who is not even fit for action. The inactive person should be lead to the path of action by praising it and setting his own example before him. Thus if one performs work in this spirit for the guidance of the world, it does not lead to bondage (171-175). This is just like the actors in the role of king and queen, who do not think themselves to be male and female, but make others think them to be so.
