Krishna's quotes from the episode:
“A wise person sees action amid inaction and inaction during an action. Their consciousness is unified, and every act is done with complete awareness. Such people who are free from anxiety about results, their actions are burned by the fire of knowledge.”
“Always seek knowledge through submission, inquiry, and devotion. Approach those who have realized the purpose of life. Find a teacher who is willing to impart knowledge to you. Once you find the wisdom, you will never be deluded.”
