Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 4, Verse 21

Krishna said
निराशीर्यतचित्तात्मा त्यक्तसर्वपरिग्रहः।शारीरं केवलं कर्म कुर्वन्नाप्नोति किल्बिषम् ॥4.21॥

nirāśīryatacittātmā tyaktasarvaparigrahaḥśārīraṃ kevalaṃ karma kurvannāpnoti kilbiṣam

Meaning

Without longing, with mind and body under control, letting go of all possessiveness, and doing only the work the body needs, a person incurs no wrong.

हिंदी में अर्थ

जो इच्छाओं से मुक्त है, जिसका मन और शरीर वश में है, जिसने सब कुछ अपना मानने का भाव छोड़ दिया है, वह केवल शरीर के ज़रूरी काम करते हुए भी पाप का भागी नहीं होता।

Practise it today

Reflect tonight

What did you let go of today, and how strong was the feeling of 'mine'?
