जोषयेत्सर्वकर्माणि विद्वान्युक्तः समाचरन्॥

`Ignorant toil for result; wise – selflessly,
Blaze the trail for detached action clearly,
For the common weal, path to eternity,
For the benefit of the entire humanity.’

“Tri-guna appears in discourse of Krishna prominently,
To Arjun upon the battlefield of Kurukshetra clearly;

That the backdrop for the Bhagwat Gita surely be,
All three gunas are held to delude the world clearly:

त्रिभिर्गुणमयैर्भावैरेभिः सर्वमिदं जगत्।
मोहितं नाभिजानाति मामेभ्यः परमव्ययम्॥ ७.१३॥
tribhirguṇamayairbhāvairebhiḥ sarvamidaṁ jagat |
mohitaṁ nābhijānāti māmebhyaḥ paramavyayam || 7.13||
World deluded by these Three Gunas does not know Me:
Who beyond these Gunas and imperishable does but be.
(7.13)”

“सदृशं चेष्टते स्वस्याः प्रकृतेर्ज्ञानवानपि।
प्रकृतिं यान्ति भूतानि निग्रहः किं करिष्यति॥

इन्द्रियस्येन्द्रियस्यार्थे रागद्वेषौ व्यवस्थितौ।
तयोर्न वशमागच्छेत्तौ ह्यस्य परिपन्थिनौ॥
॥३- ३४॥
`Each is prone to follow his nature,
His senses stormed by earthly pleasure,
Submit not to them they be your foe,
Else you will reap what ever you sow.’

“श्रेयान्स्वधर्मो विगुणः परधर्मात्स्वनुष्ठितात्।
स्वधर्मे निधनं श्रेयः परधर्मो भयावहः॥
॥३- ३५॥
`Better one’s own duty, be it humble,
Than that of another – else you’ll stumble,
Better to risk death at the post of duty,
Than perils of intrusion on others surely.’
