Shloka 45
🌟 Sanskrit:
त्रैगुण्यविषया वेदा निस्त्रैगुण्यो भवार्जुन |
निर्द्वन्द्वो नित्यसत्त्वस्थो निर्योगक्षेम आत्मवान् || 2.45 ||
🌟 Transliteration:
trai-guṇya-viṣayā vedā nistrai-guṇyo bhavārjuna |
nirdvandvo nitya-sattva-stho niryoga-kṣema ātmavān ||
🌟 Meaning:
The Vedas deal mainly with the subject of the three modes of material nature. O Arjuna, become transcendental to these three modes. Be free from all dualities, from all anxieties for gain and safety, and be established in the Self.
🌟 Explanation:
Krishna gives Arjuna a powerful instruction: rise above the material world. The Vedas offer guidance for people living within the three modes (gunas: goodness, passion, and ignorance), but the ultimate goal is to transcend them. To do this, one must be free from dualities (like pleasure-pain, hot-cold), give up the anxiety of acquiring (yoga) and protecting (kshema) material things, and remain firmly situated in one's true spiritual self (ātmavān).
Shloka 46
🌟 Sanskrit:
यावानर्थ उदपाने सर्वतः सम्प्लुतोदके |
तावान्सर्वेषु वेदेषु ब्राह्मणस्य विजानतः || 2.46 ||
🌟 Transliteration:
yāvān artha udapāne sarvataḥ samplutodake |
tāvān sarveṣu vedeṣu brāhmaṇasya vijānataḥ ||
🌟 Meaning:
All purposes served by a small well can at once be served by a great reservoir of water. Similarly, all the purposes of the Vedas can be served to one who knows the spiritual purpose behind them.
🌟 Explanation:
Krishna uses an analogy to explain the value of higher knowledge. Just as a massive lake contains all the water of a small well (and much more), a person who understands the ultimate spiritual truth of the Vedas automatically fulfills all the lesser, ritualistic purposes mentioned in them. The goal is to seek the highest knowledge, not get stuck on the preliminary steps.
Shloka 47
🌟 Sanskrit:
कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन |
मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि || 2.47 ||
🌟 Transliteration:
karmaṇy-evādhikāras te mā phaleṣu kadācana |
mā karma-phala-hetur bhūr mā te saṅgo ’stvakarmaṇi ||
🌟 Meaning:
You have a right to perform your prescribed duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of action. Never consider yourself the cause of the results of your activities, and never be attached to not doing your duty.
🌟 Explanation:
This is one of the most famous verses of the entire Bhagavad Gita and the cornerstone of Karma Yoga. Krishna lays out four key principles for action:
You only have the right to your work.
You have no right to its results.
Do not act with the fruit of the action as your motive.
This does not mean you should embrace inaction.
It is a revolutionary call to act with full dedication and skill, but without being attached to or anxious about the outcome.
Today’s Takeaway
Focus on the process, not the prize. Your power lies in the effort you put forth in this moment, not in worrying about the future result. Work with dedication, integrity, and purpose because it is the right thing to do. By detaching from the fruits of your labor, you free yourself from the anxiety of success and failure, finding peace and stability in the action itself. 🧘♂️✨
JAI SHRI KRISHNA👐👏💓💕💖💗💛💜💞💝💟💫🙌🙏
