Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 9, Verse 12
मोघाशा मोघकर्माणो मोघज्ञाना विचेतसः।राक्षसीमासुरीं चैव प्रकृतिं मोहिनीं श्रिताः ॥9.12॥moghāśā moghakarmāṇo moghajñānā vicetasaḥrākṣasīmāsurīṃ caiva prakṛtiṃ mohinīṃ śritāḥ
Meaning
Such people, Krishna says, have empty hopes, empty actions and empty knowledge, and their minds are confused. They fall into a deluding nature that is harsh and self-centred.
हिंदी में अर्थ
कृष्ण कहते हैं कि ऐसे लोगों की आशाएँ, कर्म और ज्ञान सब व्यर्थ होते हैं, और उनका मन भ्रमित रहता है। वे राक्षसी और आसुरी, यानी कठोर और स्वार्थी, मोह में डालने वाले स्वभाव में फँस जाते हैं।
Practise it today
Before starting one task today, ask yourself in a sentence why you are doing it. If the reason is empty, change the task or the reason.
Reflect tonight
Which task today had a real reason behind it, and which was empty? What will you change tomorrow?
