Bhagavad Gita As It IsVerse 2.47

The Art of Devotional Service

You have a right to perform your prescribed duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of action.

The Transmission

Real yoga means acting for the satisfaction of Krishna, not for one's own sense gratification. By offering the results of your work to the Supreme, you become free from the bondage of karma.

Reflection Gradient

Are you working for your own profit, or are you working as an instrument for the Divine Will?

Practical Application

Perform your duties today with excellence, but mentally offer every success and failure to Lord Krishna.
