Bhagavad Gita 3.22
Sanskrit
न मे पार्थास्ति कर्तव्यं त्रिषु लोकेषु किञ्चन। नानवाप्तमवाप्तव्यं वर्त एव च कर्मणि।।3.22।।
Transliteration
na me pārthāsti kartavyaṁ triṣhu lokeṣhu kiñchana nānavāptam avāptavyaṁ varta eva cha karmaṇi
Word by Word
Krishna reveals the paradox at the heart of enlightened action: the Self that has realized its own fullness has nothing left to gain, nothing left to lose, and yet moves through the world engaged in sacred duty. This is not apathy or withdrawal—it is action flowing from completeness rather than from hunger.
When you act from a place of inner wholeness instead of desperate need, your work becomes an offering rather than a transaction, and you become free even while serving.
