Dnyaneshwari Ch. 4, Verse 99

न मां कर्माणि लिम्पन्ति न मे कर्मफले स्पृहा । इति मां योऽभिजानाति कर्मभिर्न स बध्यते ॥

तरी कर्मे आपणियांतें । न लिंपतीचि पैं मातें । हें जाणती जे मातें । तेही न लिंपती ॥

💡 Meaning

Just as actions do not attach to Me, those who know Me as such are also not bound by their actions.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

Saint Dnyaneshwar elaborates that the Supreme Being is the non-doer despite being the cause of all actions. One who realizes this divine nature and understands that the true Self is distinct from the ego-driven actions of the body, becomes free from the cycle of cause and effect. Knowledge of the Divine's unattached nature serves as a template for the seeker to perform selfless action.

🎯 Practical Application

In professional life, practice 'detached involvement.' For example, lead a project with full dedication but do not let your self-worth depend solely on the outcome, thereby avoiding burnout and anxiety.

📌 Context

Lord Krishna explains to Arjuna how divine knowledge frees a person from the bondage of actions.
