Bhagavad Gita 3.1-5

Sometimes people misunderstood Krishna consciousness to be inertia, and one with such a misunderstanding often withdraws to a secluded place to become fully Kṛṣṇa conscious by chanting the holy name of Lord Krishna. Arjuna also thought of Krishna consciousness, or buddhi-yoga, or intelligence in spiritual advancement of knowledge, as something like retirement from active life to undergo austerity in a secluded place. In other words, he wanted to skillfully avoid the fighting by using Krishna consciousness as an excuse. But as a sincere student, he placed the matter before his spiritual master and questioned Krishna as to his best course of action. In answer, Lord Krishna elaborately explained karma-yoga, or work in Krishna consciousness
