You have a right to perform your prescribed duties , but you are not entitled to the fruits of your actions .Never consider yourself to be the cause of results of your activities , nor be attached to inaction
कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन।
मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते संगोस्त्वकर्मणि।।
फलासक्ति को त्यागकर यहां कृष्ण अर्जुन को कर्म करने को प्रेरणा ,कर्म त्याग का निषेध: समझाते हैं :
This is an extremely popular verse of the Bhagvad Gita , so much so that even most schools children in India are familiar with it .It offers deep insight into the proper spirit of work and is often quoted whenever the topic of karma yoga is discussed .The verse gives four instructions regarding the science of work :
(1)Do your duty , but do not concern yourself with the results .
(2)The fruits of your actions are not for your enjoyment.
(3 )Even while working , give up the pride of doer ship .
(4 )Do not be attached to inaction .
Do your duty ,but do not concern yourself with the results.
We have the right to do our duty , but the results are not dependent only on our efforts .A number of factors come into play in determining the results -our efforts , destiny (our past karmas ), the will of God , the efforts of others , the cumulative karmas of the people involved , the place and situation (a matter of luck ), etc .Now if we become anxious for results , we will experience anxiety whenever they are not according to our experiences .So Shree Krishna advises Arjuna to give up concern for the results and instead focus solely on doing a good job ,The fact is that when we are unconcerned about the results , we are able to focus entirely on our efforts ,and the result is even better than before.
A humorous acronium for this NATO or Not Attached to Outcome .
Consider its application to a simple everyday activity such as playing golf .When people play golf ,they are engrossed in the fruits -whether their score is under par ,over par ,etc.Now if they could merely focus on playing the shots to the best of their ability ,they would find it the most enjoyable game of golf they have ever played .Additionally ,with their complete focus on the shot being played ,their game would be raised to a higher level .
The fruits of your actions are not for your enjoyment
.To perform action is an integral part of human nature .Having come into this world ,we all have various duties determined by our family situation ,social position ,occupation etc .While performing these actions ,we must remember that we are not the enjoyers of the results -the results are meant for the pleasure of God .The individual soul is a tiny part of God (verse 15.7 ,Bhagvad Gita ),and hence our inherent nature is to serve him through all our actions.
Daasa bhutaamidam tasya jagatsthaavara jangamam
shreemannarayan swamee jagataanprabhureeshwarah (Padama Puran )
"God is the Master of the entire creaion ; all moving and non-moving beings are his servants ."Material consciousness (Maya ,माया नटनी ,भौतिक ऊर्जा ,मैटीरियल एनर्जी ,बॉडी कांशसनेस )is characterised by the following manner of thoughts ,"I am the proprietor of all that I possess .It is all made for my enjoyment .I have the right to enhance my possessions and maximize my enjoyment." The reverse of this is Spiritual consciousness (परा -चेतना या दिव्य आत्मा ),which is characterized by thoughts such as ,:God is the owner and enjoyer of this entire world .I am merely His selfless servant .I must use all that have in the service of God ." Accordingly Shree Krishna instructs Arjuna not to think of himself as the enjoyer of the fruits of his actions.
Even while working ,give up the pride of doership .Shree Krishna wants Arjuna to give up kartritwaabhimaan (कर्तव्याभिमान ), or the ego of being the doer .(करता बोध की अहंता ,अहंकार ,अहम भावना ).
He instructs Arjun never to chase after preconceived motives attached to his actions nor consider himself as the cause of the results of his actions.
However when we perform actions, then why should we not consider ourselves as the doers of those actions . The reason is that our senses ,mind ,and intellect are inert ;God energizes them with His power and puts them at our disposal .As a result ,only with the help of the power we receive from him ,are we able to work .For example ,the tongs( चिमटा , समसी ,पकड़ ) in the kitchen are inactive by themselves but they get energized by someones hand ,and then they perform even difficult tasks ,such as lifting burning coal ,etc.Now we say that the tongs are the doer of actions ,it will be inaccurate .If the hand did not energize them ,what would they be able to do ?They would merely lie inert on the table .Similarly if God did not supply our body-mind-soul mechanism with the power to perform actions ,we could have done nothing .Thus we must give up ego of doing ,remembering that God is the only source of the power by which we perform all our actions .
All the above thoughts are very nicely summarized in the following Sanskrit verse:
yatkritam yatkarishyami tatsavaam na mayaa kritam
tvyaa kritam tu phalabhuk tvamev madhusoodana
"Whatever I have achieved and whatever I wish to achieve , I am not the doer of these .O Madhusoodana ,you are the real doer ,and you alone are the enjoyer of their results ."
Do not be attached to inaction.
Although the nature of living being is to work ,often situations arise where work seems burdensome and confusing .In such cases , instead of running away from it ,we must understand and implement the proper science of work ,as explained by Shree Krishna to Arjuna .However ,it is highly inappropriate if we consider work as laborious and burdensome ,and resort to inaction .Becoming attached to inaction is never the solution and is clearly condemned by Shree Krishna.
