Bhagavad Gita Shloka of the Day

Karmanye vadhikaraste ma phaleshu kadachana...

“You have the right to perform your prescribed duties, but you are not entitled to the fruits of your actions. Never consider yourself the cause of the results, and never be attached to inaction.”

Na jayate mriyate va kadachit...

“The soul is never born and never dies; nor having once existed, does it ever cease to be. The soul is unborn, eternal, ever-existing, and primeval. It is not slain when the body is slain.”

Yada yada hi dharmasya glanir bhavati bharata...

“Whenever there is a decline in righteousness and an increase in unrighteousness, O Arjuna, at that time I manifest myself on earth.”

Bandhur atmatmanas tasya yenatmaiv atmana jitah...

“For one who has conquered the mind, the mind is the best of friends; but for one who has failed to do so, the mind will remain the greatest enemy.”

Shreyan sva-dharmo vigunah para-dharmat sv-anushthitat...

“It is far better to perform one's own dharma imperfectly than to perform another's dharma perfectly. Destruction in one's own dharma is better than engagement in another's dharma, for to follow another's path is dangerous.”

Matra-sparshash tu kaunteya shitoshna-sukha-duhkha-dah...

“The contacts of the senses with objects give rise to feelings of cold and heat, pleasure and pain. They are transient — they come and go. Bear them patiently, O Arjuna.”
