Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 3, Verse 4

Krishna said
न कर्मणामनारम्भान्नैष्कर्म्यं पुरुषोऽश्नुते।न च संन्यसनादेव सिद्धिं समधिगच्छति ॥3.4॥

na karmaṇāmanārambhānnaiṣkarmyaṃ puruṣo'śnutena ca saṃnyasanādeva siddhiṃ samadhigacchati

Meaning

A person does not become free from the bondage of action simply by not starting any work. Nor does anyone reach perfection merely by giving things up.

हिंदी में अर्थ

केवल काम शुरू न करने से कोई कर्म के बंधन से मुक्त नहीं होता। और सिर्फ़ चीज़ें छोड़ देने से भी किसी को पूर्णता नहीं मिलती।

Practise it today

Start one task you have been postponing until you "feel ready". Give it just fifteen minutes today.

Reflect tonight

Did you start the postponed task? How did starting compare with waiting to feel ready?
