Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 3, Verse 10

The Creator, having in the beginning created mankind together with Yajna, said: 'By this shall you multiply; this shall be the milch cow of your desires.'

Duty and fulfillment were built to travel together from the very start, not as opposites.

This isn't framed as a burden handed down from above, it's framed as a built-in path to prosperity. Doing the work a person is actually meant to do was designed to be the way things go well, not an obstacle to it.
