Bhagavad Gita 4.17 meaning
karmano hy-api boddhavyam boddhavyam cha vikarmanah
akarmanash cha boddhavyam gahana karmano gatih
कर्मणो ह्यपि बोद्धव्यं बोद्धव्यं च विकर्मणः।
अकर्मणश्च बोद्धव्यं गहना कर्मणो गतिः॥
You need to understand what right action is, what wrong action is, and what non-action is. The ways of action are deep and hard to grasp.
What it means
Life is not simply good versus bad. Sometimes doing nothing is a choice with consequences, and sometimes busy activity achieves nothing. Think carefully about what your actions really are.How it helps in real life
- Big decisions: Staying silent while your friend makes a risky loan to a stranger? Silence is also a choice; share your concern kindly today.
- At work: Busy all day answering emails but nothing important got done? Tomorrow, list the one task that matters and do it first.
हिंदी में अर्थ
सही कर्म को समझना ज़रूरी है, गलत कर्म को भी समझना ज़रूरी है, और अकर्म को भी। कर्म की चाल बहुत गहरी है।
जीवन सिर्फ अच्छा और बुरा नहीं है। कभी कुछ न करना भी एक चुनाव है जिसका असर होता है, और कभी बहुत भागदौड़ से भी कुछ नहीं बनता। अपने कर्मों को ध्यान से परखिए।
Spoken by Krishna.
