Bhagavad Gita 3.36

Arjuna speaking to Krishna

अथ केन प्रयुक्तोऽयं पापं चरति पूरुषः। अनिच्छन्नपि वार्ष्णेय बलादिव नियोजितः ॥

atha kena prayukto ’yaṁ pāpaṁ charati pūruṣhaḥ anichchhann api vārṣhṇeya balād iva niyojitaḥ

But dragged on by what does a man commit sin, reluctantly indeed, O Varshneya, as it were by force constrained?

In plain words: Arjuna asks Krishna (here called Vārshneya, of the Vrishni clan) what pushes a person to do wrong, even when they do not want to, as if they were forced.
