Bhagavad Gita 6.40

Neither in this world nor in the next is there destruction for one who does good; never does one who treads the good path come to grief.

Theme: Purpose

"Neither in this world nor in the next is there destruction for one who does good; never does one who treads the good path come to grief."

Modern explanation

When the day pushes against you, remember: Sincere work, even when it seems to fail, is never wasted. The good you do is woven into the future.

Practical application

Do the work even when motivation has left the room. Discipline is borrowed motivation.

Reflection question

What would I do if I knew this work was preparing me for something I can't yet see?
