Bhagavad Gita 4.13 meaning
chaturvarnyam maya srishtam gunakarma-vibhagashah
tasya kartaram api mam viddhy-akartaram avyayam
चातुर्वर्ण्यं मया सृष्टं गुणकर्मविभागशः।
तस्य कर्तारमपि मां विद्ध्यकर्तारमव्ययम्॥
The four social orders were created by me, divided according to people's qualities and work. Though I am their maker, know me as one who does not act and never changes.
What it means
Here Krishna links roles to a person's nature and actions, not to birth or status. Each of us has a natural bent and a way to contribute. Find the work that fits who you truly are.How it helps in real life
- At work: Engineering because everyone expected it, but you love design? Try a weekend design course and see where your nature pulls you.
- As a parent: Pushing your child toward medicine when she loves teaching? Watch her strengths this month and support the path that fits her.
हिंदी में अर्थ
चार वर्णों की रचना मैंने गुणों और कर्मों के आधार पर की है। उनका रचयिता होकर भी मुझे अकर्ता और अविनाशी जानो।
यहाँ कृष्ण भूमिका को इंसान के स्वभाव और कर्म से जोड़ते हैं, जन्म या ऊँच-नीच से नहीं। हर व्यक्ति का अपना स्वभाव और योगदान होता है। वह काम खोजिए जो आपके असली स्वभाव से मेल खाए।
Spoken by Krishna.
