Duty is God!

Good Morning Friends...Let's refresh...!

karmanyevaadhi kaarasthe
maaphaleshu kadaachana!
Maakarma phala hethurbhooh
Maathe sangothsva karmani !!            II.47

To work is your only right,
and never to attain the fruit
let the object be not the fruit of action
nor attachment, to your inaction !!

"Arjuna, your duty is to do the work. You have no right to anticipate the fruit of action. Let not your aim be the cause for worry, as regards the fruit of your action. Also, there should not be any cause for stopping the work, when once it is undertaken. Your are expected to do your work sincerely. You have authority to do that. When once it is done, your job is over. You should not anticipate the specific results. You should leave it to Me (God).

Imagining simultaneously, that you have nothing as regards its fruit, you should not give it up. Moral standards expect you to do your work consciously. With the intention of keeping the above in view, you should undertake the works. "

The word 'Kadaachana' used in the sloka expect you not to anticipate, the result of your work. It can, thus, be concluded that it is nishkaama karma or the work without wishful thinking, that pays in the long run! 

Be happy...and keep smiling....

Chitra.
