Dnyaneshwari Ch. 2, Verse 147

तुज उचित कर्म करणें । परी फळासीं संगु न धरणें । आणि कुकर्माचेनि नांवें नेणें । प्रवृत्ती होआवें ॥ १४७ ॥

तुज उचित कर्म करणे । परी फळाशी संग न धरणे । आणि कुकर्माच्या नावानेही । प्रवृत्त न होणे ॥ १४७ ॥

"You are entitled to perform your duty, but not to the fruits of your actions. Do not let the fruit of action be your motive, and do not be attached to performing wrong deeds."

💡 Meaning

It is your duty to perform your prescribed actions, but do not have any attachment to the fruits of those actions. Also, do not be inclined towards performing wrong deeds.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

In this verse, Saint Dnyaneshwar elaborates on the core philosophy of the Bhagavad Gita regarding action. He advises that an individual's right is limited to the performance of duty, not to the results thereof. Attachment to the fruit of labor often leads to anxiety and deviation from the right path. Dnyaneshwar Maharaj emphasizes that while one should abandon the desire for rewards, one must never abandon the duty itself or resort to 'Kukarma' (unrighteous actions). True liberation lies in performing one's role with total dedication and equanimity.

🎯 Practical Application

A student should focus on studying thoroughly and understanding the subjects rather than constantly worrying about the final grades. This focus on the process leads to genuine learning and better results.

📌 Context

Lord Krishna explains the principle of selfless action (Nishkama Karma) to Arjuna, emphasizing duty over desire.

💡 Meaning

Therefore, there is no sin more terrible than doubt. It is the ultimate cause of destruction.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

In this verse, Saint Dnyaneshwar emphasizes that doubt is the most heinous sin because it leads to total destruction of the self. Unlike other mistakes that can be rectified, doubt (Sanshay) erodes the very foundation of faith and intellect. It acts like a slow poison that prevents a person from achieving both worldly success and spiritual liberation. A person possessed by doubt loses their sense of direction and purpose, making it the ultimate cause of downfall.

🎯 Practical Application

In daily life, avoid self-doubt when pursuing a goal. For example, if a student doubts their preparation despite studying hard, they might perform poorly due to anxiety. Confidence and faith in one's efforts are essential for success.

📌 Context

Saint Dnyaneshwar explains the destructive nature of doubt (Sanshay) while commenting on the importance of faith in the path of knowledge.
