Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 3, Verse 8

Do you perform your obligatory action, for action is superior to inaction, and even the bare maintenance of your body would not be possible if you were inactive.

Doing nothing was never actually a neutral option, it has its own real cost.

Krishna is blunt here: showing up and doing the work isn't just spiritually better, it's practically necessary. Even keeping a body alive takes action, so opting out was never really available.
