Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 5, Verse 10

Krishna said

ब्रह्मण्याधाय कर्माणि सङ्गं त्यक्त्वा करोति यः।लिप्यते न स पापेन पद्मपत्रमिवाम्भसा ॥5.10॥

brahmaṇyādhāya karmāṇi saṅgaṃ tyaktvā karoti yaḥlipyate na sa pāpena padmapatramivāmbhasā

Meaning

Krishna says: whoever acts while offering all actions to Brahman (the Absolute) and giving up attachment is not touched by wrongdoing, just as a lotus leaf stays untouched by the water around it.

हिंदी में अर्थ

श्रीकृष्ण कहते हैं: जो अपने सारे कर्म ब्रह्म, यानी परमात्मा को अर्पित करके और आसक्ति छोड़कर करता है, उसे पाप वैसे ही नहीं छूता जैसे पानी में रहकर भी कमल का पत्ता गीला नहीं होता।

Practise it today

Before starting your main work today, offer it silently: "I do this as my best offering." Then let go of how others react to it.

Reflect tonight

Did offering your work change how much others' reactions affected you today?
