Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 4, Verse 17

Krishna said

कर्मणो ह्यपि बोद्धव्यं बोद्धव्यं च विकर्मणः।अकर्मणश्च बोद्धव्यं गहना कर्मणो गतिः ॥4.17॥

karmaṇo hyapi boddhavyaṃ boddhavyaṃ ca vikarmaṇaḥakarmaṇaśca boddhavyaṃ gahanā karmaṇo gatiḥ

Meaning

One must understand action, wrong action (vikarma), and inaction too, Krishna says. The way of action is deep and hard to grasp.

हिंदी में अर्थ

कर्म को समझना ज़रूरी है, विकर्म (गलत कर्म) को भी समझना ज़रूरी है और अकर्म को भी समझना चाहिए। कर्म की गति बहुत गहरी और कठिन है।

Practise it today

Before one decision today, pause and ask three things: should I act, should I hold back, or would acting here be wrong?

Reflect tonight

Did pausing to weigh act, wait or avoid change any choice you made today?
