Shloka 1
Sanskrit:
ब्रह्मधाय ण्याकर्माणि सङ्गं त्यक्त्वा करोति यः |लिप्यते न स पापेन पद्मपत्रमिवाम्भसा ॥ ५.१० ॥
Transliteration:
Brahmaṇy ādhāya karmāṇi saṅgaṁ tyaktvā karoti yaḥ,
Lipyate na sa pāpena padma-patram ivāmbhasā.
Meaning:
One who dedicates all actions to Brahman (God), abandoning attachment, performs actions yet is never tainted by sin—just as a lotus leaf remains untouched by water.
Explanation:
The famous lotus analogy! The leaf floats in muddy water but stays spotless—water beads off due to its natural coating. Similarly, offer your work to God, drop ego/attachment, and worldly "sins" (karma's stains) can't touch you. Pure detachment in action!
Shloka 2 Sanskrit:
कायेन मनसा बुद्ध्या केवलैरिन्द्रियैरपि |
योगिनः कर्म कुर्वन्ति सङ्गं त्यक्त्वात्मशुद्धये ॥ ५.११ ॥
Transliteration:
Kāyena manasā buddhyā kevalair indriyair api,
Yoginaḥ karma kurvanti saṅgaṁ tyaktvātma-śhuddhaye.
Meaning:
The yogis perform actions with body, mind, intellect, and even the senses alone—giving up attachment—for the purification of the self.
Explanation:
Karma yogis use every tool (body, thoughts, intellect, senses) but without clinging to results. Purpose? Inner cleansing! Every act becomes a tool for self-purification—no ego, no bondage, just steady spiritual growth. Action as sadhana!
Shloka 3 Sanskrit:
युक्तः कर्मफलं त्यक्त्वा शान्तिमाप्नोति नैष्ठिकीम् |
अयुक्तः कामकारेण फले सक्तो निबध्यते ॥ ५.१२ ॥
Transliteration:
Yuktaḥ karma-phalaṁ tyaktvā śhāntim āpnoti naiṣhṭhikīm,
Ayuktaḥ kāma-kāreṇa phale sakto nibadhyate.
Meaning:
The one established in yoga, abandoning the fruits of actions, attains everlasting peace. But the one not established, driven by desire, attached to results, gets bound.
Explanation:
Final contrast: Drop expectations → permanent peace! Cling to outcomes out of desire → bondage and anxiety. Yoga means union with the Divine through detached action—choose peace over chains. True freedom unlocked!
Today’s TakeawayBe like the lotus—untouched by the world's mud! Dedicate actions to God, perform them with full effort but zero attachment, and use every moment for self-purification. Results? No sin sticks, inner peace blooms eternally. Detached action = spiritual superpower!JAI SHRI KRISHNA👏👐💗💗💛💫💞🙌🙎🙏
