कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते
You have the right to act...
A guided meditation on this verse: settle, breathe with its meaning, rest in silence, and carry its essence into your day.
त्यक्त्वा कर्मफलासङ्गं नित्यतृप्तो निराश्रयः |
कर्मण्यभिप्रवृत्तोऽपि नैव किञ्चित्करोति सः ||४-२०||
tyaktvā karmaphalāsaṅgaṃ nityatṛpto nirāśrayaḥ .
karmaṇyabhipravṛtto.api naiva kiñcitkaroti saḥ ||4-20||
Krishna paints a picture of freedom: "Imagine someone who has let go of all attachment to results, who is always content, who depends on nothing and no one. That person is fully active in the world — and yet, in the deepest sense, they are doing nothing at all."
