WORK FOR THE SAKE OF WORK

"कर्मणयेवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन।
मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि।"

   “You have a right to perform your prescribed action,but you are not entitled to the fruits of your action. Never consider yourself the cause of the results your activities,and never be associated to not doing your duty.”

 

BHAGVAD GITA SAYS TO PERFORM YOUR DUTY BUT DON'T DESIRE FOR THE FRUIT OF ACTION. FOR A HUMAN BEING REWARD FOR A ACTION IS MOTIVE POWER THEN WHY LORD KRISHNA TELLS US TO ACT WITHOUT CRAVING FOR FRUIT OF ACTION.

WE MUST UNDERSTAND IN THIS REGARD THAT ALL OUR ACTIONS MUST BEAR FRUIT. GOD IS BENEFACTOR OF EVERYTHING. HE WILL PROVIDE US APPROPRIATE REWARD FOR OUR ACTIONS. THEREFORE WHILE PERFORMING OUR DUTY WE SHOULD NOT WORRY ABOUT FRUIT OF ACTION BUT SHOULD FOCUS ON HOW EFFICIENTLY WE CAN PERFORM OUR DUTY SO OTHER PERSONS CAN GET MAXIMUM BENEFIT.

THE PURPOSE OF OUR LIFE IS TO EVOLVE AS A GOOD HUMAN BEING, TO GROW MORALLY AND SPIRITUALLY. THE TEACHING OF BHAGAVAD GITA HELPS US IN THIS WAY. IF WE ACT LEAVING THE OUTCOME OF OUR ACTION TO THE WILL OF GOD WE CAN BE MORE FOCUSED ABOUT OUR ACTION. WE CAN TAKE DECISION WHICH ARE GOOD FOR PROPER DISCHARGE OF OUR DUTY WITHOUT ANY HESITATION. 

WHEN WE DON'T FOLLOW THE TEACHING OF GITA THEN BEFORE DOING ANYTHING THE FIRST THING WHICH CROSS OUR MIND IS HOW I AM GOING TO BE BENEFITED BY DOING THIS ACTION NOT HOW I WILL DO IT EFFICIENTLY.

WE TALK ABOUT THE EVIL OF CORRUPTION PREVAILED IN SOCIETY. BUT DO WE EVER CONSIDER ABOUT THE CAUSE OF THIS DISEASE OF CORRUPTION. THE MAIN CAUSE OF CORRUPTION IS OUR GREED. OUR SELF CENTERED ATTITUDE TO GET MAXIMUM BENEFIT FROM OUR ACTION.

A CONTRACTOR WHO GETS THE CONTRACT OF ROAD MAKING THINKS HOW MUCH MORE PROFIT I CAN MAKE FROM THIS WORK SO HE USES INFERIOR MATERIAL. THE OFFICIAL WHO HAS TO ALLOT CONTRACT, GIVES IT TO ONE WHO PROVIDES HIM PERSONAL ADVANTAGE NOT TO THE MOST ELIGIBLE PERSON. IN THIS WAY ROAD WHICH IS CONSTRUCTED WILL BE  RUPTURED SOON.

THEREFORE WE MUST WORK ACCORDING TO GITA'S TEACHING ONLY FOR THE SAKE OF ACTION LEAVING THE OUTCOME OF OUR ACTION ON GOD.
