Sanskrit
ज्ञानं ज्ञेयं परिज्ञाता त्रिविधा कर्मचोदना।करणं कर्म कर्तेति त्रिविधः कर्मसंग्रहः।।18.18।।
Transliteration
jñānaṁ jñeyaṁ parijñātā tri-vidhā karma-chodanā karaṇaṁ karma karteti tri-vidhaḥ karma-saṅgrahaḥ
Word by Word
Krishna reveals the sacred anatomy of action itself—that knowledge, the known, and the knower form one unified triad, just as the instrument, the action, and the actor are inseparable in the dance of karma. This threefold understanding dissolves the illusion that you are the sole doer, liberating you from the burden of egoic ownership.
When you see action as a natural unfolding rather than a personal conquest, your daily work—whether in career, family, or service—transforms from exhausting striving into a graceful expression of dharma.
