When you are bliss itself, what more can you ask for? When you understand and experience this truth, you are enough unto yourself; you are completely satisfied.

३.१८

नैव तस्य कृतेनार्थो नाकृतेनेह कश्चन ।
न चास्य सर्वभूतेषु कश्चिदर्थव्यपाश्रयः
॥ ३=१८ ॥

naiva tasya kṛtenārtho nākṛteneha
kaścana na cāsya sarvabhūteṣu
kaścidarthavyapāśrayaḥ

Certainly, he never has any purpose
for doing his duty or for not doing his
duty in this world. He does not
depend on any living being

POWERFUL COGNITION

The person centered in completion does not depend on external causes or people to feel joyful, blissful. Constantly, the fountain of bliss is happening within him.

तस्मादसक्तः सततं कार्यं कर्म समाचर ।
असक्तो ह्याचरन्कर्म परमाप्नोति पूरुषः
॥ ३-१९॥

tasmādasaktaḥ satataṁ kāryaṁ
karma samācara asakto hyācaran
karma paramāpnoti pūruṣaḥ

Therefore, one should work
always without attachment.
Performing work without
attachment, certainly, man
achieves the Supreme

POWERFUL COGNITION

Only when you work without any incompletion, can you perform the task authentically to your peak possibility, without expectation and without being concerned about the results.

3.20

कर्मणैव हि संसिद्धिमास्थिता जनकादयः ।
लोकसङ्ग्रहमेवापि सम्पश्यन्कर्तुमर्हसि
॥ ३-२०॥

karmaṇaiva hi saṁsiddhim
āsthitā janakādayaḥ
lokasaṁgrahamevāpi
sampaśyankartumarhasi

King Janaka and others attained
perfection by selfless enriching.
To guide others you too must
act selflessly

POWERFUL COGNITION

Only when you are completely detached can you be completely involved.
