Bhagavad Gita 5.10

He who acts, offering all actions to the Divine, abandoning attachment, is untainted by sin, as a lotus leaf is by water.

Theme: Purpose

"He who acts, offering all actions to the Divine, abandoning attachment, is untainted by sin, as a lotus leaf is by water."

Modern explanation

In the middle of the day, return to this: You can be fully in the world and not be stained by it, when the work is done as offering, not grasping.

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?
