Chapter 2, Verse 31dutycourage

Practical Step

Identify the most important duty calling you today. Do it with full heart, without bargaining with results. The effort itself is the offering.

स्वधर्ममपि चावेक्ष्य न विकम्पितुमर्हसि। धर्म्याद्धि युद्धाछ्रेयोऽन्यत्क्षत्रियस्य न विद्यते

svadharmamapi cāvekṣya na vikampitumarhasi, dharmyāddhi yuddhāchreyo'nyatkṣatriyasya na vidyate

हिंदी अर्थ

अपने स्वधर्म (क्षात्रधर्म) को देखकर भी तुम्हें विकम्पित अर्थात् कर्तव्य-कर्मसे विचलित नहीं होना चाहिये; क्योंकि धर्ममय युद्धसे बढ़कर क्षत्रियके लिये दूसरा कोई कल्याणकारक कर्म नहीं है।

English Meaning

Even considering your own duty you should not waver, since there is nothing else better for a Ksatriya than a righteous battle.
