Chapter 12 • Verse 10
अभ्यासेऽप्यसमर्थोऽसि मत्कर्मपरमो भव। मदर्थमपि कर्माणि कुर्वन्सिद्धिमवाप्स्यसि॥
abhyāse 'py asamartho 'si mat-karma-paramo bhava mad-artham api karmāṇi kurvan siddhim avāpsyasi
Meaning
If you are unable even to practice, be intent on acting for My sake. Even by performing actions for My sake, you shall attain perfection.
Even if formal practice is difficult, work for God's sake. Dedicate your actions to the Divine. Karma yoga becomes bhakti yoga when actions are offered to God. This is accessible to everyone — even busy people can work for God.
Strength Reflection
"Even when I can't practice formally, I dedicate my work to God."
Devotional Surrender
O Lord, I work for Your sake. Accept my actions as my offering.
