Karmanye Vadhikaraste Ma Phaleshu Kadachana..

Karmanye Vadhikaraste Ma Phaleshu Kadachana..

"Karmanye Vadhikaraste Ma Phaleshu Kadachana,
Ma Karma Phala Hetur Bhurmatey Sangostva Akarmani"

Translation :

"You have a right to perform your prescribed action,

but you are not entitled to the fruits of your action.

Never consider yourself the cause of the results of your activities,

and never be associated to not doing your duty."

 

How simple and how relevant even today.I think if Bhagavadgeetha is universally renowned as the jewel of India's spiritual wisdom , Most of us today have forgotten about this part and always take things as business deals. Be it friendship, love or even marriage. We always impose conditions before doing anything so that we benefit from it in the end. Thats exactly what Krishna says here.Always do your best without expecting the results and you will be happy.
How beautiful...
