Shloka 48
🌟 Sanskrit:
योगस्थः कुरु कर्माणि सङ्गं त्यक्त्वा धनञ्जय |
सिद्ध्यसिद्ध्योः समो भूत्वा समत्वं योग उच्यते || 2.48 ||
🌟 Transliteration:
yoga-sthaḥ kuru karmāṇi saṅgaṁ tyaktvā dhanañjaya |
siddhy-asiddhyoḥ samo bhūtvā samatvaṁ yoga uchyate ||
🌟 Meaning:
Be steadfast in yoga (equipoised), O Arjuna. Perform your duty and abandon all attachment to success or failure. Such evenness of mind is called yoga.
🌟 Explanation:
Krishna provides a clear definition of what it means to be "established in yoga." It means performing your actions diligently while abandoning attachment (saṅgaṁ tyaktvā) to the outcome. By remaining balanced (samaḥ) in both success (siddhi) and failure (asiddhi), you achieve a state of perfect mental equanimity. Krishna declares that this very equanimity (samatvam) is the definition of Yoga.
Shloka 49
🌟 Sanskrit:
दूरेण ह्यवरं कर्म बुद्धियोगाद्धनञ्जय |
बुद्धौ शरणमन्विच्छ कृपणाः फलहेतवः || 2.49 ||
🌟 Transliteration:
dūreṇa hy avaraṁ karma buddhi-yogād dhanañjaya |
buddhau śaraṇam anviccha kṛpaṇāḥ phala-hetavaḥ ||
🌟 Meaning:
O Dhananjaya, keep all abominable activities far distant through this Buddhi Yoga (the yoga of intellect), and in that consciousness, surrender unto the Lord. Those who want to enjoy the fruits of their work are misers.
🌟 Explanation:
Krishna draws a sharp contrast. Actions performed with spiritual intelligence (Buddhi Yoga) are far superior to those driven by selfish desire. He advises Arjuna to take refuge in this higher intelligence and abandon desire-driven work. He calls those who are motivated only by the fruits of their actions "misers" (kṛpaṇāḥ), because they fail to use the precious human form of life for its true purpose: spiritual realization.
Shloka 50
🌟 Sanskrit:
बुद्धियुक्तो जहातीह उभे सुकृतदुष्कृते |
तस्माद्योगाय युज्यस्व योगः कर्मसु कौशलम् || 2.50 ||
🌟 Transliteration:
buddhi-yukto jahātīha ubhe sukṛta-duṣkṛte |
tasmād yogāya yujyasva yogaḥ karmasu kauśalam ||
🌟 Meaning:
A man engaged in devotional service rids himself of both good and bad actions even in this life. Therefore, strive for yoga, which is the art of all work.
🌟 Explanation:
Here, Krishna gives another famous definition of Yoga. A person endowed with Buddhi Yoga transcends the dualities of good deeds (sukṛta) and bad deeds (duṣkṛte), freeing themselves from all karmic reactions. He then urges Arjuna to strive for this state, defining it beautifully as "the art of all work" or "skill in action" (yogaḥ karmasu kauśalam). This means performing your duties so skillfully and with such perfect detachment that the work itself becomes a form of meditation and liberation.
Today’s Takeaway
Work with skill and serenity. True mastery in life is not just about what you do, but how you do it. Approach your tasks with full focus and dedication, yet remain internally balanced and detached from the outcome. This "skill in action" transforms your work from a burden into a spiritual practice, freeing you from stress and leading to inner peace. 🧘♂️🎨
JAI SHRI KRISHNA👐👏💓💕💚💛💞💝💫🙇🙏
