Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 5, Verse 14
न कर्तृत्वं न कर्माणि लोकस्य सृजति प्रभुः।न कर्मफलसंयोगं स्वभावस्तु प्रवर्तते ॥5.14॥na kartṛtvaṃ na karmāṇi lokasya sṛjati prabhuḥna karmaphalasaṃyogaṃ svabhāvastu pravartate
Meaning
Krishna says: the Lord does not create a sense of doership in people, nor their actions, nor the link between actions and their results. It is one's own nature that drives all this.
हिंदी में अर्थ
श्रीकृष्ण कहते हैं: ईश्वर लोगों में न कर्तापन पैदा करता है, न उनके कर्म बनाता है, और न ही कर्म को उसके फल से जोड़ता है। यह सब मनुष्य का अपना स्वभाव ही चलाता है।
Practise it today
When something goes wrong today, resist saying "it was fate" or blaming others. Ask instead: "Which of my own habits played a part here?"
Reflect tonight
What part did your own nature or habit play in today's setback? What will you adjust?
