Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 18, Verse 34

Krishna said

यया तु धर्मकामार्थान् धृत्या धारयतेऽर्जुन।प्रसङ्गेन फलाकाङ्क्षी धृतिः सा पार्थ राजसी ॥18.34॥

yayā tu dharmakāmārthān dhṛtyā dhārayate'rjunaprasaṅgena phalākāṅkṣī dhṛtiḥ sā pārtha rājasī

Meaning

The resolve by which one holds on to duty, pleasure and wealth, eagerly wanting the rewards that come with them, is rajasic.

हिंदी में अर्थ

जिस दृढ़ता से व्यक्ति धर्म, काम और धन को पकड़े रहता है, पर साथ में उनके फल की तीव्र चाह रखता है, वह धृति राजसिक है।

Practise it today

Look at one goal you are pursuing hard. Write one reason for it that has nothing to do with reward or status.

Reflect tonight

Is your hardest effort today driven by reward, or by something deeper?
