Chapter 18 • Verse 45

स्वे स्वे कर्मण्यभिरतः संसिद्धिं लभते नरः। स्वकर्मनिरतः सिद्धिं यथा विन्दति तच्छृणु॥

sve sve karmaṇy abhirataḥ sansiddhiṁ labhate naraḥ sva-karma-nirataḥ siddhiṁ yathā vindati tach chṛiṇu

Meaning

Each one, devoted to one's own duty, attains perfection. Hear how one devoted to one's own work finds perfection.

By dedicating oneself to one's natural duty, anyone can attain perfection. The path to liberation isn't about what work you do but how devotedly you do your own calling.

Strength Reflection

"I attain perfection by devotedly performing my natural duty."

Devotional Surrender

O Lord, help me find perfection through devoted performance of my calling.
