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.
श्रीभगवानुवाच |
पार्थ नैवेह नामुत्र विनाशस्तस्य विद्यते |
न हि कल्याणकृत्कश्चिद् दुर्गतिं तात गच्छति ||६-४०||
śrībhagavānuvāca .
pārtha naiveha nāmutra vināśastasya vidyate .
na hi kalyāṇakṛtkaścid durgatiṃ tāta gacchati ||6-40||
Krishna reassures Arjuna with great tenderness: "Arjuna, that person is not destroyed — not in this life and not in any future life. Listen to me carefully: no one who sincerely tries to do good ever comes to a bad end."

BG 6.40
Settle
This is already in English. It appears to be a paraphrased or interpretive rendering of a Bhagavad Gita concept (likely related to BG 2.40 or similar verses about effort and yoga), rather than a direct translation from Sanskrit that needs conversion. If you have the original Sanskrit text or a text in another language that you'd like me to translate into English, please provide that and I'll deliver an authentic, literary English translation of its meaning.
The essence
No good effort is ever wasted.
Breathe
You trust your effort counts You release the fear of failing
Contemplate
What effort have you feared was wasted that was not?
Take with you
Write a word of encouragement to the part of you that wants to quit.
