Transliteration
brāhmaṇa-kṣhatriya-viśhāṁ śhūdrāṇāṁ cha parantapa karmāṇi pravibhaktāni svabhāva-prabhavair guṇaiḥ
In plain words
You're exhausted because you're trying to become someone you're not—following a blueprint that was never meant for you. Krishna says: your true work isn't something you have to hunt for or force; it blooms naturally from who you actually are, the gifts and nature already alive in you. Stop fighting yourself. Listen to what wants to come through you, and then do that—and you'll find the ground beneath your feet again.
Word by Word
The Lord reveals that dharma is not imposed from above but blooms naturally from the soil of your own being. Each person's sacred duty flows from their unique nature—the qualities woven into their consciousness—like a river finding its own course down the mountain.
When you align your work with your svabhava, your true nature, you stop struggling against yourself and start becoming whole. '—then your right action follows like water finding the valley.
