March 24, 2014: The fruits of all actions are attained and controlled by the Lord or the creator. Then how can work be superior? As work is an insentient thing only.

The very basis of existence in this world is due to actions and by actions. Each individual has to perform actions & he can never deviate from doing actions.

Let the individual be a software engineer or a renunciated Saint or the very Lord Krishna, he has to do actions. This Bhooloka or Earth is a world of actions.

Actions are inevitable in as much breathing of air or drinking water is inevitable. Even great Mahatmas perform actions. This is the reason why Lord Krishna himself did actions and never refrained from doing actions.
