Apuryamanam Achala Pratishthamआपूर्यमाणमचलप्रतिष्ठम्

Bhagavad Gita 2.70 teaches a devotional principle from Krishna’s dialogue with Arjuna.

  1. Bhagavad Gita 2.70

    आपूर्यमाणमचलप्रतिष्ठं समुद्रमापः प्रविशन्ति यद्वत् । तद्वत्कामा यं प्रविशन्ति सर्वे स शान्तिमाप्नोति न कामकामी ॥

    भावार्थ

    जैसे नदियाँ स्थिर समुद्र में प्रवेश करती हैं, वैसे ही इच्छाएँ जिस व्यक्ति में प्रवेश कर उसे विचलित नहीं करतीं, वह शांति पाता है; इच्छाओं का पीछा करने वाला नहीं।

    Meaning

    As rivers enter the full, steady ocean, desires enter the steady person without disturbing them. Such a person finds peace, unlike one who seeks desires.

You have the right to perform your duties, but not to the results. Focus on your work without attachment to the outcome.
