The Gita and I

By: ishani_ckb Verified Member MouthShut Verified Member | Posted Oct 14, 2009 | General | 862 Views

"Karmanye wadhikaraste....." You have right to do the work only, without bugging your head over its results. Also, You cant stop working in anticipation of negative results.

Most of us know this sloka from The Gita. isnt it? But how is it possible? until and unless I think about the probable result of a certain work, can I set my goal? when I remember this particular sloka by the way? its when my work doesnt bring me the expected result,then only. to console my un-consolable soul...is this then for the loosers?

even if it is....whats the harm in it? it is saving me from getting frustrated. as it is saving me from getting frustrated, it is saving me from running to a psychologist as well. consequently my hard-earned money. WOW.......

nowadays I think its not so bad idea to blame your "naseeb" or the lines at your hand or the misdeeds in your past life for your present failuers. it keeps your mind kool. ha,ha,ha........

That Sloka means give your best to anything which you do without getting bothered about the reward. Being preoccupied with reward might affect your sincerity. So, give you best shot and the reward will be natural.

A bit complex ideology. Need to read along with other slokas of Gita.

In short, it is the anthem hailing the process of action (Karma) that need to be performed in the righteous manner with utmost diligence without losing focus,

I fully agree with you. It is not for the loosers only. You are right that it gives us strength and help to stabilise our mind. The basic idea is that we should concentrate on those things which we can control and should not bother about those things beyond our control.Have a nice day....Read More
