Throughout the Bhagavad-Gita, Krishna advocates detached actions of individuals. Krishna states, “When a man is unattached and free, his reason deep in knowledge, acting only in sacrifice, his action is wholly dissolved,”(54). By being unattached and free, a man’s soul is not connected to his body in anyway. Instead he believes that his soul will never die, and continue multiple lives. By this statement, Krishna believes that if a man’s soul is attached to himself that man believes he is only going to have one live to live. Krishana believes that actions that individual makes are just for the betterment of that person. He believes that by completing any action that man is doing it to benefit himself in anyway, and not think about anyone else. However, Krishana believes being unattached to your body is the way every person should live their life. A person who is unattached from his body is more willing to sacrifice themselves, and believes that their soul will live throughout numerous lives. An unattached person is also okay with whatever comes in the due course of their life because they know that there will be another one to live. “Content with whatever comes by chance, beyond dualities, free from envy, impartial to failure and success, he is not bound even when he acts.” Krishana wants unattached action because that means that person is more willing to sacrifice them self. The person knows he has more than one life to live, and he doesn’t stay attached to his one life and body.
