Bhagavad Gita 3.19

Therefore, always perform without attachment the work that has to be done; for performing action without attachment, one attains the Supreme.

Theme: Purpose

"Therefore, always perform without attachment the work that has to be done; for performing action without attachment, one attains the Supreme."

Modern explanation

In the middle of the day, return to this: Purpose is not a destination you reach; it is a quality of attention you bring to ordinary work.

Practical application

Audit the last three hours: which task most belonged to you? Do more of that.

Reflection question

What would change if I treated this ordinary work as sacred?
