Bhagavad Gita 12.10 meaning
abhyasepy-asamarthosi matkarmaparamo bhava
madartham api karmani kurvan siddhim avapsyasi
अभ्यासेऽप्यसमर्थोऽसि मत्कर्मपरमो भव।
मदर्थमपि कर्माणि कुर्वन् सिद्धिमवाप्स्यसि॥
If you can't manage regular practice either, then dedicate yourself to doing work for me. Even by acting for my sake, you will reach perfection.
What it means
There is always a next-best step. If meditation feels hard, do your daily work as an offering. Ordinary tasks done with the right intention can be a full spiritual path.How it helps in real life
- At work: Too tired after your shift at the hospital to meditate? Then let your care for each patient be your prayer for the day.
- Helping others: Can't sit still for puja? Spend Sunday morning teaching maths to your housekeeper's daughter, and call that your worship.
हिंदी में अर्थ
अगर अभ्यास भी नहीं कर पाते, तो मेरे लिए कर्म करने में लग जाओ। मेरे लिए कर्म करते हुए भी तुम सिद्धि पा लोगे।
हमेशा एक अगला रास्ता होता है। ध्यान कठिन लगे, तो रोज़ का काम भेंट समझकर करें। सही भाव से किए साधारण काम भी पूरा आध्यात्मिक मार्ग बन सकते हैं।
Spoken by Krishna.
