Shloka 15
🌟 Sanskrit:
एवं ज्ञात्वा कृतं कर्म पूर्वैरपि मुमुक्षुभिः |
कुरु कर्मैव तस्मात्त्वं पूर्वैः पूर्वतरं कृतम् || 4.15 ||
🌟 Transliteration:
evaṁ jñātvā kṛtaṁ karma pūrvair api mumukṣubhiḥ |
kuru karmaiva tasmāt tvaṁ pūrvaiḥ pūrvataraṁ kṛtam ||
🌟 Meaning:
Knowing this (secret of acting without attachment), the seekers of liberation in ancient times also performed their duties. Therefore, you too should perform action, just as the ancients did.
🌟 Explanation:
Krishna has just explained that He acts without being bound—no ego of doership, no desire for results. Now He tells Arjuna this is not a new teaching. Even the great seekers of freedom in the past (mumukṣubhiḥ) acted in the world after understanding this truth (evaṁ jñātvā). They did not run away from action; instead, they transformed action into a path of liberation by performing their duties without attachment, as service and example for others.
Therefore, Krishna says, Arjuna should also do his karma (kuru karmaiva tasmāt tvam) in the same spirit as those ancient sages—fully engaged, but inwardly free.
Today’s Takeaway
Walk the proven path.
You don’t have to invent a new way to live spiritually. The saints and sages already showed the path:
Understand that the true Self is beyond doership.
Do your duties wholeheartedly.
Offer the results and drop the ego-claim on them.
Action then becomes not a chain, but a bridge to freedom.
JAI SHRI KRISHNA
