Before measuring life in terms of success or failure, one should know how this success is to be measured in the first place
श्रीभगवानुवाच ।
संन्यासः कर्मयोगश्च निःश्रेयस्करावुभौ ।
तयोस्तु कर्मसंन्यासात्कर्मयोगो विशिष्यते
॥ ५-२ ॥
śrībhagavānuvāca sannyāsaḥ
karmayogaś ca niḥśreyasakarāvubhau
tayostu karma-sannyāsāt karmayogo
viśiṣyate
Bhagavān says: The renunciation of
work [sannyāsa] and work in devotion
[karmayoga] are both good for
liberation. But, of the two, work in
devotional service is better than
renunciation of work.
POWERFUL COGNITION
What we are doing is not important, who we are being is important
5.3
ज्ञेयः स नित्यसंन्यासी यो न द्वेष्टि न काङ्क्षति ।
निर्द्वन्द्वो हि महाबाहो सुखं बन्धात्प्रमुच्यते
॥ ५-३॥
jñeyaḥ sa nityasannyāsī yo na
dveṣṭi na kāṅkṣati nirdvandvo
hi mahābāho sukhaṁ
bandhātpramucyate
He who neither hates nor desires the
fruits of his activities has renounced.
Such a person, free from all dualities,
easily overcomes material bondage and
is completely liberated, Oh Arjuna!
POWERFUL COGNITION
Do something enriching just for the sake of enriching, not for any purpose."
5.4
साङ्ख्ययोगौ पृथग्बालाः प्रवदन्ति न पण्डिताः ।
एकमप्यास्थितः सम्यगुभयोर्विन्दते फलम्
॥५-४॥
sāṅkhyayogau pṛthagbālāḥ pravadanti
na paṇḍitāḥ ekamapyāsthitaḥ samyag
ubhayorvindate phalam
Only the ignorant, not the wise, speaks of the path of action [karma-yoga] to be different from the path of renunciation [sāṅkhya yoga]. Those who are actually learned say that one who is firmly established in either of the paths, achieves the fruit of both.
POWERFUL COGNITION
Work without motivation is the only real work. It will never make us tired! Every moment we will be working out of bliss.
