💡 Meaning

Therefore, O Arjuna, do not let your mind be deceived and do not abandon your own duty.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

In this verse, Saint Dnyaneshwar explains that allowing the mind to be deluded by grief or attachment is a form of self-betrayal. He urges Arjuna (Pandusuta) to remain steadfast in his 'Swadharma' (innate duty). For a warrior like Arjuna, fighting for righteousness is the highest path, and abandoning it due to emotional weakness would be a spiritual failure.

🎯 Practical Application

One should not quit their responsibilities when faced with emotional challenges. Example: A professional should complete their project with integrity even if they feel personally overwhelmed.

📌 Context

Lord Krishna advises Arjuna to stay firm in his duty and not let his mind be swayed by emotional confusion.

💡 Meaning

One who has abandoned the lure of results and is satisfied within themselves does nothing at all, even while engaged in action.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

In this verse, Dnyaneshwar Maharaj describes the characteristics of a liberated soul. One who has given up the 'bait' or craving for the results of their actions and remains perpetually satisfied in the bliss of the Self is truly free. Such a person does not depend on external objects for happiness. Even though they may be seen performing various duties in the world, because they lack the ego of being the 'doer', their actions do not bind them. Their activity is essentially 'non-action' (Akarma).

🎯 Practical Application

Focus on the process of your work rather than obsessing over the outcome. For example, a professional should focus on providing value through their work rather than just focusing on the promotion or salary.

📌 Context

Saint Dnyaneshwar explains the state of a person who has attained self-realization and acts without attachment to the results.
