Bhagavad Gita 2.51
कर्मजं बुद्धियुक्ता हि फलं त्यक्त्वा मनीषिणः । जन्मबन्धविनिर्मुक्ताः पदं गच्छन्त्यनामयम् ॥
karma-jaṃ buddhi-yuktā hi phalaṃ tyaktvā manīṣiṇaḥ | janma-bandha-vinirmuktāḥ padaṃ gacchanty anāmayam ||
Translation
For the wise, possessed of understanding, having abandoned the fruit born of action, freed from the bond of birth, go to the place that is free from disease.
Reflection
What daily practice have you been treating as small that is actually doing larger work?
Read this verse in its chapter: Chapter Two
The promise. Anāmayam padam. The place free from disease, free from affliction. Janma-bandha-vinirmuktāḥ. Freed from the bond of birth. The wise, those who have done the work of releasing the fruit, do not return to the cycle of arrivals and departures that drives the ordinary life. The verse is the high point of the chapter's claim. The same yoga that makes you steady today, practiced through, releases you from the larger cycle that produces the days. Not by removing you from action, but by changing what action does to you.
