🔊 Tap any word to hear it — or ▶ to recite the whole shloka
sukha-duḥkhe same kṛitvā lābhālābhau jayājayau tato yuddhāya yujyasva naivaṁ pāpam avāpsyasi
இன்ப துன்பங்களையும், ஆதாய நஷ்டங்களையும், வெற்றி தோல்விகளையும் சமமாகக் கருதி, போருக்காகவே போரில் ஈடுபடு; இவ்வாறு செய்தால் நீ பாவத்தை அடைய மாட்டாய்.
This is the Yoga of eanimity or the doctrine of poise in action. If anyone does any action with the above mental attitude or balanced state of mind he will not reap the fruits of his action. Such an action will lead to the purification of his heart and freedom from birth and death. One has to develop such a balanced state of mind through continous struggle and vigilant efforts.
