ब्रह्मण्याधाय कर्माणि सङ्गं त्यक्त्वा करोति यः | लिप्यते न स पापेन पद्मपत्रमिवाम्भसा ||५-१०||
“Krishna gives Arjuna a beautiful image: "A person who acts as an offering to the divine, without clinging to results, is not touched by wrongdoing — just as a lotus leaf sits on water but never gets wet."”
Today's verse is BG 5.10:
“Krishna gives Arjuna a beautiful image: "A person who acts as an offering to the divine, without clinging to results, is not touched by wrongdoing — just as a lotus leaf sits on water but never gets wet."”
Let this verse settle in you slowly. The Gita asks not so much to be read as to be lived — its words meet you in the ordinary texture of your day, in the choices, the duties, and the uncertainties you are carrying right now.
Sit with it for a moment before moving on. Notice the line that stays with you, and the one that unsettles you. Both have something to teach.
“Can you recall a time when you naturally lived this teaching?”
