What it means
When everything we do is a transaction for reward, even spiritual life becomes a shopping list. Krishna invites us to look beyond 'what do I get?' toward something more freeing.How it helps in real life
- Helping others: Donating only when you want something in return? This Diwali, give anonymously to a local shelter and expect nothing back.
- With friends: Notice you only call certain friends when you need a favour? Call one today just to ask how they're doing.
हिंदी में अर्थ
कामनाओं से भरे, स्वर्ग को ही लक्ष्य मानने वाले लोग ऐसे अनेक कर्मकांडों की प्रशंसा करते हैं जो अच्छे जन्म, भोग और ऐश्वर्य का वादा करते हैं।
जब हर काम इनाम का सौदा बन जाए, तो आध्यात्मिक जीवन भी खरीदारी की सूची बन जाता है। कृष्ण 'मुझे क्या मिलेगा' से आगे देखने का निमंत्रण देते हैं।
