Bhagavad Gita 18.5 meaning
yajnadanatapahkarma na tyajyam karyam eva tat
yajno danam tapash ch-aiva pavanani maneeshinam
यज्ञदानतपःकर्म न त्याज्यं कार्यमेव तत्।
यज्ञो दानं तपश्चैव पावनानि मनीषिणाम्॥
Acts of sacrifice, giving and self-discipline should not be given up; they must be done. Sacrifice, charity and discipline purify even the wise.
What it means
Giving to others, serving a larger purpose and keeping self-discipline are not burdens to escape. They keep the heart clean, no matter how wise or successful you already are.How it helps in real life
- When you succeed: Now that you're successful, you've stopped giving and volunteering. Restart this month: pick one cause and one weekly habit of discipline.
- With money: Bonus season arrived. Before planning the holiday, set aside a fixed small share for charity, and transfer it first.
हिंदी में अर्थ
यज्ञ, दान और तप के कर्म छोड़ने योग्य नहीं हैं, इन्हें करना ही चाहिए। यज्ञ, दान और तप तो समझदार लोगों को भी शुद्ध करते हैं।
दूसरों को देना, बड़े उद्देश्य के लिए काम करना और अनुशासन रखना बोझ नहीं हैं। ये मन को साफ़ रखते हैं, चाहे आप कितने भी समझदार क्यों न हों।
Spoken by Krishna.
