28. The Essence of Life is 'Enriching'

The purpose of life is to enrich Life with Completion; to enrich others and yourself with Completion. The person who realizes the purposelessness of life can have the strength to enrich himself and others, only he can go beyond duality and surpass envy, only he can be satisfied in any action with whatever profit comes, what Kṛṣṇa calls—yadṛcchā lābha santuṣṭo dvandvātīto vimatsaraḥ (4.22). When you realize this, you relax into the space of completion, unaffected by success or failure, although doing actions, as Kṛṣṇa says beautifully, 'samaḥ siddhāv asiddhau ca kṛtvāpi na nibadhyate (4.22).'

Kṛṣṇa says here, 'One who works for the sake of enriching sacrifice, merges into the knowledge, yajñāyācarataḥ karma samagraṁ pravilīyate (4.23).' Enrich just for the sake of enriching.
