Bhagavad Gita 18.23 meaning
niyatam sangarahitam aragadveshatah kritam
aphalaprepsuna karma yat tat sattvikam uchyate
नियतं सङ्गरहितमरागद्वेषतः कृतम्।
अफलप्रेप्सुना कर्म यत्तत्सात्त्विकमुच्यते॥
Action that is fitting, done without attachment, without liking or disliking, by someone not chasing its reward, is called sattvic.
What it means
Clean action is simple: do what is right, without grudges, favouritism or a hidden agenda. Work done this way feels light, and others can trust it.How it helps in real life
- At work: Reviewing your friend's code at work? Judge it exactly as you would a stranger's, with no favours and no grudges.
- Helping others: Helping at the temple kitchen, you want a mention in the newsletter. Drop that wish, chop the vegetables well, and go home happy.
हिंदी में अर्थ
जो कर्म उचित हो, आसक्ति के बिना, राग-द्वेष के बिना और फल की चाह न रखने वाले द्वारा किया जाए, वह सात्त्विक कहलाता है।
साफ़ कर्म सीधा होता है: जो सही है वह करो, बिना द्वेष, पक्षपात या छिपे मकसद के। ऐसा काम हल्का लगता है और लोग उस पर भरोसा करते हैं।
Spoken by Krishna.
