Bhagavad Gita 14.16 meaning
karmanah sukritasy-ahuh sattvikam nirmalam phalam
rajasas tu phalam duhkham ajnanam tamasah phalam
कर्मणः सुकृतस्याहुः सात्त्विकं निर्मलं फलम्।
रजसस्तु फलं दुःखमज्ञानं तमसः फलम्॥
The fruit of good action is said to be pure and clear. The fruit of passion is pain, and the fruit of dullness is ignorance.
What it means
The spirit behind your work decides what it gives back. Work done with clarity brings peace; work done from greed brings stress; work done carelessly brings confusion.How it helps in real life
- At work: Tempted to inflate numbers in your sales report to hit target? Report honestly; the peace of clean work outlasts one quarter's bonus.
- Studies & exams: Copy-pasting your college assignment from ChatGPT? Write it yourself, even badly; real understanding is the actual result you need.
हिंदी में अर्थ
अच्छे कर्म का फल सात्त्विक और निर्मल कहा गया है, रजोगुण का फल दुःख है और तमोगुण का फल अज्ञान है।
काम के पीछे की भावना ही तय करती है कि वह क्या लौटाएगा। स्पष्ट मन से किया काम शांति देता है, लालच से तनाव, और लापरवाही से उलझन।
Spoken by Krishna.
