- Bhagavad Gita 2.47
कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन । मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि ॥
भावार्थ
तुम्हारा अधिकार केवल कर्म करने में है, उसके फल पर कभी नहीं। तुम कर्मफल को ही अपना हेतु मत बनाओ और तुम्हारी आसक्ति अकर्म में भी न हो।
Meaning
Your choice concerns action alone, never its fruits. Do not act only for the fruits of action, and do not become attached to inaction.
