कार्यमित्येव यत्कर्म नियतं क्रियतेऽर्जुन | सङ्गं त्यक्त्वा फलं चैव स त्यागः सात्त्विको मतः
kāryamityeva yatkarma niyataṃ kriyate.arjuna . saṅgaṃ tyaktvā phalaṃ caiva sa tyāgaḥ sāttviko mataḥ
اے ارجن (Arjuna)! جو کرم (Karma) محض فرض سمجھ کر، لگاؤ اور پھل دونوں کو ترک کر کے کیا جاتا ہے، وہ تیاگ (Tyag) ساتوک (Sattvic) مانا جاتا ہے۔
Whatever obligatory duty is performed just because it is a bounden duty, O Arjuna, by giving up attachment and the result as well,-that renunciation is considered to be based on sattva.
ایک پاکیزہ فطرت کا انسان اپنی صلاحیت اور فطری سرشت کے مطابق وہ کرم انجام دیتا ہے جو اس کے حصے میں آئے ہوں۔ وہ نہ تو یہ فخر کرتا ہے کہ وہ ان کرموں کا انجام دینے والا ہے اور نہ ہی ان سے کسی فائدے کی امید رکھتا ہے۔ یہ گیتا (Gita) کی مرکزی تعلیم ہے کہ اپنا فرض بغیر لگاؤ اور خودغرض خواہشات کے ادا کرو۔
A man of pure nature performs actions that have fallen to his lot in accordance with his capacity and his inherent nature. He is not filled with the pride that he is the performer of such actions nor does he hope for any gain therefrom.An ignorant man may think that the obligatory duties may produce their fruits for the performer by causing selfpurification and preventing the sin of omission or nonperformance. This sort of thinking and expectation of rewards also must be abandoned. Abandonment of the rewards of actions is praised in this verse.When a man does obligatory duties without agency and with unselfishness and egolessness his,mind is purified? his Antahkarana is prepared for the reception of the divine light or the dawn of Selfknowledge. He gradually becomes fit for devotion to knowledge (JnanaNishtha).The aspirant or seeker after liberation should be prepared to undergo physical sufferings. All acts of selfdiscipline and selfsacrifice entail physical suffering.This? again? is the central teaching of the Gita -- do your duty without attachment and selfish desires.
