Chapter 3 · Karma Yoga
Work as Offering · Turning Duty into Devotion
Meaning
"Work done as an offering does not bind; all other work binds one to this world. Therefore, O Arjuna, perform your duty as an offering, free from attachment."
Explanation
Any task can either trap you or set you free — the difference isn't the task itself but the spirit in which you do it. Doing something as an offering, rather than a transaction, changes everything about how it feels.
Today's Life Lesson
Try doing one task today as a quiet offering rather than an obligation — notice how much lighter it feels.
