Shloka 26
🌟 Sanskrit:
न बुद्धिभेदं जनयेदज्ञानां कर्मसङ्गिनाम् |
जोषयेत्सर्वकर्माणि विद्वान्युक्तः समाचरन् || 3.26 ||
🌟 Transliteration:
na buddhi-bhedaṁ janayed ajñānāṁ karma-saṅginām |
joṣayet sarva-karmāṇi vidvān yuktaḥ samācaran ||
🌟 Meaning:
Let not the wise man unsettle the minds of the ignorant who are attached to fruitive action. He should not induce them to stop work, but rather, by performing his own duties with devotion, he should engage them in all activities.
🌟 Explanation:
Krishna gives a masterful instruction on spiritual leadership and social harmony. He advises the wise (vidvān) not to create a "division in the intelligence" (buddhi-bhedam) of those who are ignorant (ajñānām) and attached to the fruits of their work (karma-saṅginām). In other words, one should not abruptly tell a beginner to renounce everything, as this will only cause confusion and anxiety. Instead, the wise person should perform their own duties perfectly and with a detached spirit, and by their example, gently inspire others to also perform their duties well.
Shloka 27
🌟 Sanskrit:
प्रकृतेः क्रियमाणानि गुणैः कर्माणि सर्वशः |
अहङ्कारविमूढात्मा कर्ताहमिति मन्यते || 3.27 ||
🌟 Transliteration:
prakṛteḥ kriyamāṇāni guṇaiḥ karmāṇi sarvaśaḥ |
ahaṅkāra-vimūḍhātmā kartāham iti manyate ||
🌟 Meaning:
The spirit soul bewildered by the influence of false ego thinks himself the doer of activities that are in actuality carried out by the three modes of material nature.
🌟 Explanation:
Krishna now reveals the root cause of entanglement: the false ego (ahaṅkāra). An individual whose soul is bewildered by this false ego (vimūḍhātmā) mistakenly believes, "I am the doer" (kartāham iti manyate). In reality, all bodily and mental actions are being carried out by the forces of material nature (prakṛteḥ... guṇaiḥ). This illusion of being the "doer" is the very thing that creates attachment to the results.
Today’s Takeaway
Lead with patience, not preaching. The best way to guide others is not by telling them they are wrong, but by showing them a better way through your own actions. Meet people where they are. Instead of creating confusion by demanding they abandon their work, inspire them by performing your own duties with skill, detachment, and a higher purpose. True leadership uplifts gently, through example. 🌱
JAI SHRI KRISHNA👐👏💛💖💞💫🙇🙌🙏
