Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 17, Verse 28

Krishna said
अश्रद्धया हुतं दत्तं तपस्तप्तं कृतं च यत्।असदित्युच्यते पार्थ न च तत्प्रेत्य नो इह ॥17.28॥

aśraddhayā hutaṃ dattaṃ tapastaptaṃ kṛtaṃ ca yatasadityucyate pārtha na ca tatpretya no iha

Meaning

Whatever is offered, given, practised as austerity or done without faith is called 'asat' (unreal), Arjuna. It brings no good, neither here nor after death.

हिंदी में अर्थ

हे पार्थ, बिना श्रद्धा के जो भी हवन किया जाए, दान दिया जाए, तप किया जाए या कोई कर्म किया जाए, वह 'असत्' कहलाता है। उसका न इस लोक में फल है, न परलोक में।

Practise it today

Pick one thing you will do today only half-heartedly, and either put your full heart into it or honestly decide to stop doing it.

Reflect tonight

Which half-hearted task did you face today, and did you commit to it or let it go?
