Karm (Duty)


कवि: वेद व्यास

Poet: Ved VyasTranslation: the maVerick
कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन।
मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते संगोऽस्त्वकर्मणि॥

(महाभारत से)
Karmanyevadhikaraste ma faleshu kadachan
Ma karmfalheturburma te sangostvakarmane
You are entitled only to your assigned actions,
Don't hanker for the fruit of your labor
Do not think you caused the results,
And never from doing your duty waver

(from the epic poem Mahabharata)

  2. So apt in today's scenario too; where annaji is asking for a renaissance.. to join hands and free India from the clutches of corruption.
