कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन - Your right is for action alone, never for the results

कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन 

        - Your right is for action alone, never for the results 

Karmanye Vadhikaraste Ma Phaleshu Kadachana

This is a Sanskrit verse from the Bhagavad Gita  It is a message from Lord Krishna to Arjuna.  

You have the right to perform your actions, but you are not entitled to the fruits of the actions. You should never be concerned about fruits of labor.  This is a verse which emphasizes the importance of performing one's duty without being attached to the results  It encourages people to focus on their actions and responsibilities, rather than the outcome of it.  The verse also emphasizes the importance of being selfless and not expecting rewards or recognition. 

You have a right to “Karma” (actions) but never to any Fruits thereof. You should never be motivated by the results of your actions, nor should there be any attachment in not doing your prescribed activities for any reason thereof.  You have right only to do karma, but you have no right to decide what and when you will get for karma, it is decided by Universal Law of karma.

Just by following this principle can help people cultivate a sense of purpose, responsibility, and inner peace.  It can help people act righteously without concern for success or failure. Life is not a race and it is not at all about winning or losing.  Unless you lose yourselves completely in your work, you will not be winning in this game of life.  Ultimately we get lost and be out of this existence one day or the other, it is just a matter of time.  It is the intention behind your every action that accounts for your well being.

Right intention, right action will lead to right results obviously, but that does not mean that we need to act with expectation.  Accept but do not expect, that should be your motto when you start off your day with any kind of work.  Good things follow good people who are dedicated only towards their work - कर्मयोगी (Karmayogi).

A Karmayogi is a person who performs actions without desire for personal gain or credit. This term comes from the Bhagavad Gita, which describes Karma Yoga as a mental discipline that guides a person's actions. They act without a sense of "I" or "Mine" and for the benefit of others.  They  act with impartiality towards all fellow beings. The main goal of the Karmayogi is to perform rightful actions without being attached to the end results.

A Karmayogi renounces the results of their actions as a spiritual offering to the Almighty.

Spirituality helps you to know yourselves completely and will make you dedicate yourselves completely in the service of whole existence.  Spirituality will help you know your real purpose and the real meaning for your being born on this planet in the first place.  It will make you realize who you are, what you are and what your purpose or what role you are supposed to play out in this game of life.  If you do not know who you are, what is your purpose being born on this earth, your whole life will be wasteful journey and you will die as a unsatisfied soul to be reborn again and again unless and until you understand and realize what life is all about.

What Life is, is ultimately known through realization.

Accept Spirituality Accept Yourselves

Do not miss this chance 

to become one with the whole (God)

Celebrate Life Celebrate your Existence
