Bhagavad-gita As It Is | Part [BG.18.06]       

 

 

TEXT 10:

na dveshty akusalam karma

kusale nanushajjate

tyagi sattva-samavishto

medhavi chinna-samsayah

 

TRANSLATION:

The intelligent renouncer situated in the mode of goodness, neither hateful of inauspicious work nor attached to auspicious work, has no doubts about work.

 

PURPORT:

A person in Krishna consciousness or in the mode of goodness does not hate anyone or anything which troubles his body. He does work in the proper place and at the proper time without fearing the troublesome effects of his duty. Such a person situated in transcendence should be understood to be most intelligent and beyond all doubts in his activities

 

TEXT 11:

na hi deha-bhrita sakyam

tyaktum karmany aseshatah

yas tu karma-phala-tyagi

sa tyagity abhidhiyate

 

TRANSLATION:

It is indeed impossible for an embodied being to give up all activities. But he who renounces the fruits of action is called one who has truly renounced.

 

PURPORT:

It is said in Bhagavad-gita that one can never give up work at any time. Therefore he who works for Krishna and does not enjoy the fruitive results, who offers everything to Krishna, is actually a renouncer. There are many members of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness who work very hard in their office or in the factory or some other place, and whatever they earn they give to the Society. Such highly elevated souls are actually sannyasis and are situated in the renounced order of life. It is clearly outlined here how to renounce the fruits of work and for what purpose fruits should be renounced.
