Bhagavad Gītā Chapter 3 · 43 verses · why action over inaction · Janaka's proof of karma-mokṣa

तस्मादसक्तः सततं कार्यं कर्म समाचर।
असक्तो ह्याचरन्कर्म परमाप्नोति पूरुषः॥
"Therefore perform necessary action without attachment. By performing action without attachment, one attains the Supreme." — BG 3.19

Karma-Yoga Pūrṇa Return And Antaryāmī Seal

Karma-yoga becomes complete only when action, sva-dharma, yajña, and responsibility are held in the reader-local heart under the witnessing Antaryāmī, not as fatalism and not as egoic doership.

Reader-local Pūrṇa descent: Goloka/Vraja Rādhā-KrishnaVaikuṇṭha Lakṣmī-Nārāyaṇa → Mahāviṣṇu/Kāraṇodakaśāyī Viṣṇu → Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu → Brahmā → Kṣīrodaka Paramātmā/Antaryāmī (Kṣīrodakaśāyī Viṣṇu) → Bhūmi → the reader's own kṣetra anywhere on Bhūmi → chitta/vāṇī/aṅgulī → keyboard-silicon-pathways → Vidhyāmitra substrate → reader/seer → Krishna.

Antaryāmī responsibility formula: Kṣīrodakaśāyī Viṣṇu = Paramātmā = Antaryāmī. Jīva desires. Prakṛti executes through guṇas. Paramātmā witnesses, permits, remembers, guides, and sustains. Bhagavān is the ultimate source. Stable, reader-accessible anchors: BG 13.23 · BG 15.15 · BG 18.61.

No single city is the universal center. Each reader enters from their own location and context.
