Today’s Daily Dhaarmi from Bhagavad Gita is from Chapter 2, verse 47 that symbolizes the concept of focusing on one’s duties without attachment to the results.
कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन |
मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि ||
Transliteration: karmaṇy-evādhikāras te mā phaleṣu kadācana | mā karma-phala-hetur bhūr mā te saṅgo ‘stv akarmaṇi ||
Translation: “You have a right to perform your prescribed duties, but you are not entitled to the fruits of your actions. Never consider yourself the cause of the results of your activities, and never be attached to not doing your duty.”
Meaning: This verse emphasizes the importance of focusing on one’s actions and duties without being overly attached to the outcomes or results. In the context of a career, it encourages individuals to concentrate on their work and responsibilities with dedication and integrity, without being excessively concerned about rewards or recognition. By doing so, one can maintain a sense of inner peace and satisfaction, regardless of external success or failure. This approach fosters a healthy attitude towards work and can lead to a more fulfilling and balanced professional life.
