Chapter 2, Verse 27karma yoga
Practical Step
Do your best work today without tracking who notices or what you'll receive. The quality of your effort is the practice itself.
जातस्य हि ध्रुवो मृत्युर्ध्रुवं जन्म मृतस्य च। तस्मादपरिहार्येऽर्थे न त्वं शोचितुमर्हसि
jātasya hi dhruvo mṛtyurdhruvaṃ janma mṛtasya ca, tasmādaparihārye'rthe na tvaṃ śocitumarhasi
हिंदी अर्थ
क्योंकि पैदा हुएकी जरूर मृत्यु होगी और मरे हुएका जरूर जन्म होगा। इस (जन्म-मरण-रूप परिवर्तन के प्रवाह) का परिहार अर्थात् निवारण नहीं हो सकता। अतः इस विषयमें तुम्हें शोक नहीं करना चाहिये।
English Meaning
For death of anyone born is certain, and of the dead (re-) birth is a certainly. Therefore you ought not to grieve over an inevitable fact.
