Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 3, Verse 20

Krishna said

कर्मणैव हि संसिद्धिमास्थिता जनकादयः।लोकसंग्रहमेवापि संपश्यन्कर्तुमर्हसि ॥3.20॥

karmaṇaiva hi saṃsiddhimāsthitā janakādayaḥlokasaṃgrahamevāpi saṃpaśyankartumarhasi

Meaning

King Janaka and others reached perfection through action itself. And keeping in view lokasangraha (the welfare and good order of the world), you too should act.

हिंदी में अर्थ

राजा जनक जैसे लोगों ने कर्म के द्वारा ही सिद्धि पाई। और लोकसंग्रह, यानी संसार के कल्याण और व्यवस्था को ध्यान में रखकर, तुम्हें भी कर्म करना चाहिए।

Practise it today

Do one small thing today for the common good: pick up litter, fix something shared, or help a new person at work or college settle in.

Reflect tonight

What did you do for the common good today? Did anyone notice, and did it matter?
